Vets' Day Freebies / Konkol / 'Boob Painting'/ Park President Out

Don't miss our city's starring role in "Kevin Garnett: Anything Is Possible," a documentary film by my pals at Blowback Productions — makers of "Chicagoland" — set to debut on Showtime Friday.

The film offers a glimpse of how Garnett's single season at Farragut Academy, alongside fellow high school phenom Ronnie Fields and under the tutelage of coach William "Wolf" Nelson, changed the course of his carrer in a way no other city could.

"Chicago was an adjustment for Kevin. He was a laid back, quiet guy when he got here," Fields says. "Then, he got to see how physical Chicago guys play. That honed his attitude to be aggressive and play more physically."
