Avoid Construction In Downtown Skokie Wednesday

Here's your Today in Skokie report for Wednesday, Aug. 28. 

• You may want to avoid Lincoln Avenue from Galitz Street to Niles Center, where paving and construction will be happening in the latter half of this week. There will also be paving on Brown Street. 
• A lost work from ancient Roman times was rediscovered and has changed the world. If that thrills the Indiana Jones in you, you might be interested in Pages Through History, a group of history lovers which will meet at 7 p.m. at the Skokie Library. They'll discuss "The Swerve: How the World Became Modern" by Stephen Greenblatt, a winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
• Need a calendar of Jewish holidays throughout the year?  Lubavitch Chabad of Skokie is once again publishing the Skokie Jewish Art Calendar 2013/2014 for the Jewish New Year. It has detailed information on upcoming holidays, educational messages, Shabbat and Holiday candle-lighting times, traditional Jewish recipes, and popular thematic artwork by well-known artists, according to the congregation.
