Judith Nemes Credentials: A freelance journalist specializing in environmental issues, Judith Nemes has contributed to the Chicago Tribune, Crain's Chicago Business, and USA Today. Behind the story: "It's startling the first time you come across living walls ['Bring the Outdoors In,' page 143] and see vibrant plants jutting out from a wall in an artistic way." Favorite spot in Chicago: "Biking to Green City Market to buy the freshest organic food from my favorite local farmers." Her inspiration: "Finding people who are passionate about healing the planet and sharing their stories." Kari Lydersen Credentials: Kari Lydersen is a codirector of the Social Justice News Nexus at the Medill School of Journalism. She has written for Crain's, The Economist, and People. Behind the story: "It was really fun to talk with Greg and Jerry ['Full-Sail Family,' page 62]. I was wishing I could do the Race to Mackinac— though the whole 'Island Goat' smell doesn't sound so appealing." Favorite spot in Chicago: "Canal Origins Park. You can see the old Fisk plant on one side, the aban- doned grain elevator on the other, with barges, tugboats, and rowers f loating by." Her inspiration: "I'm always amazed by people with rich stories, quirky crusades, poignant dreams, and steely resilience." Anjali Pinto Credentials: Food enthusiast – turned – food photographer Anjali Pinto's true passion lies in telling stories. She frequently photographs for the restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You, and her work has also appeared in Esquire, Rolling Stone, and Vogue. Behind the story: "Over a tasting of the family's favorite wines ['The Man with the Golden Goblet,' page 55], I talked to John Terlato about our shared love of travel. He recommended an authentic gyro stand in Paris, of all places, for my upcoming trip in August." Favorite spot in Chicago: "The dock at Montrose Harbor. The big concrete steps are a great place to spread out a picnic and watch the sun set behind the city." Her inspiration: "My horrible memory. If I didn't document my life, I'd be sure to forget it."
