This week on Chicago Sunday:
Cook County Board President John Stroger has just announced he will run for a fourth term amid talk of budget deficits, tax increases, cronyism, and in-fighting on the board he leads. Phil Ponce talks with him about his chances for re-election.

Then, Stan Lawrence takes us "back in the day" of the Checkerboard Lounge – one of Chicago's most important and historic blues clubs. After some in-fighting about which community should house it, the club has found a new home in Hyde Park and is set to re-open November 18th.

Finally, looking for something a little different to do this fall? We'll take you on a tour of three museums you may not know about – all dedicated to area luminaries whose influence was felt around the world: Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven, the Ernest Hemingway Museum and the Frances Willard Home and Museum.
