Leo DiCaprio is not included in the dinner, sorry. The Titanic will have been resting at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years when Sunday, April 15, comes up on the calendar. And while Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Union Station can help paint the picture of what it was like to be aboard the seemingly unsinkable luxury liner,…
Image Lab Proximity is often the determining factor when it comes to lunch at work. Food is habitual. We seek comfort in the dishes from our childhood table. Our sandwich condiment orders are etched in stone. And everyone has a go-to weekend spot. A friend asked for a lunch recommendation recently, and I rattled off places within a 20-minute round-trip…

In addition to shout-outs to the likes of Appleseed Cast, Coalesce, the Life & Times, Capybara and others, the director threw…
