This week, Annalisa brought us back to 1992- the year world leaders declare an end to the Cold War, while hot films include the Chicago-rooted Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, and the Brad Pitt drama A River Runs Through It. In real-life Chicago, a river does run through it: The Great Chicago Flood brings the Chicago River into basements all around The Loop. And, typical for the 1990s, the Bulls win it all.
