Chicago Celebrates One Its Very Own

Mayor Richard Daley declared Monday "Roger Ebert Day" in Chicago. The Pulitzer Prize winning movie critic and columnist, who also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently, truly deserves the accolades.

As Ron Magers, news anchor at ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7 said,

"When you listen to Roger, you know he's telling you what he thinks, and that he's telling you from his heart. And I think that translates no matter what the medium."

Here is a great interview with Ebert from a February, 2005 issue of the New York Times Magazine.
