<p>Guitarists Joel Paterson (at right) and Andy Brown with drummer Alex Hall performing at Chicago's legendary Green Mill. <br /></p> <p>They play a mix of jazz, blues, and pedal-steel guitar pieces just about every Monday night and are well worth catching if you're in town.<br /></p>
<p>Russia's largest hotel dates from the late 1970s, when it was built as part of the facilities for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. There are over 1750 rooms in the Cosmos, which still operates today.<br /></p>
