Since space is limited, **please RSVP ASAP.** Please contact Tasnim at 614-260-4591 if you have trouble finding us!

This is a **stationary guided church visit — no walking tour** — allowing us to slow down and truly appreciate the church’s architecture, artwork, symbolism, and history in a peaceful and reflective setting. Expect soaring ceilings, dramatic altars, rich stained glass, devotional shrines, and stories that connect Catholic tradition with Chicago’s industrial and immigrant past. ✨ *** 🕰️ **Schedule, Meeting Info & Cost** 📅 **Saturday, February 14, 2026** ⏰ **10:00 AM – 12:00 PM** 📍 **St. Barbara Roman Catholic Church** 2859 S.

Named for **St. Barbara**, patron saint of miners and workers in dangerous trades, the parish became a spiritual refuge for laboring families seeking faith, stability, and community. The current church building, completed in the **1910s**, is a stunning example of the **Polish Cathedral style** — a uniquely American expression of Catholic architecture characterized by monumental scale, classical influences, lavish ornamentation, and an emphasis on beauty as an act of devotion. Inside, the church is richly adorned with: * Grand altars * Painted ceilings and murals * Sculptural details * Stained glass honoring saints, sacraments, and Polish religious heritage Every element was designed to inspire awe, reinforce Catholic teaching, and reflect the pride and sacrifice of the immigrant community that built it. For generations, St. Barbara served as a cultural, spiritual, and social anchor — hosting baptisms, weddings, funerals, festivals, and daily worship that shaped neighborhood life. As demographics evolved, the parish continued to adapt while preserving its extraordinary artistic and architectural legacy. Today, St. Barbara remains an active parish and a treasured landmark — one of Chicago’s most impressive examples of early 20th-century Catholic church design. *** 🍽️ **Optional Coffee or Lunch After the Visit** Those interested are welcome to join me afterward for coffee or lunch at a nearby neighborhood spot. 🍽️ Options will be shared closer to the date. ⚠️ Please bring cash — some venues may not split checks. *** 👟 **What to Bring** • Camera • Respectful attire • $15 tour fee (exact change appreciated) *** 🚇 **Getting There** Public transportation is easy and encouraged.

**Description** As much as I like C++, it is certainly not free of — let's say — quirks. Both the core language and the standard library exhibit idiosyncrasies, sometimes even in conflict with one another. Some of these "oops" may be historical in origin. However, most are due to the spectrum of viewpoints held by the hundreds of contributors who have participated in C++ standardization to date. This talk points out and discusses many of these inconsistencies and numerous other infelicities in naming, behavior, or both. Come see whether your pet C++ peeve is mentioned! **About the presenter** With broad experience in industry, academia, consulting, and research, Dr. Walter E. Brown has been a computer programmer for more than 60 years, and a C++ programmer for over 40 years. He joined the C++ standards effort in 2000, and has since written more than 175 proposal papers. Among numerous other contributions, he is responsible for introducing such now-standard C++ library features as * \`cbegin\`/\`cend\`, * \`common_type\`, * \`gcd\`/\`lcm\`, * \`void_t\`, * cmath’s mathematical special functions, * as well as the headers random and ratio. He has also significantly impacted such C++ core language features as alias templates, contextual conversions, variable templates, \`static_assert\`, and \`operator<=>\` (the "spaceship operator"). When not playing with his grandchildren, Dr. Brown continues as an Emeritus participant in the C++ standards process and as a frequent speaker at C++ meetups and conferences worldwide. **Details** ***NOTE!*** The timing for this event deviates from historical norms! In particular, the presentation will precede the social hour and the social hour will take place at a second location! Please read the details, carefully This event is for in-person attendance. For virtual attendance, please see the [alternative page](https://www.meetup.com/chicago-c-cpp-users-group/events/313287164). Space is limited! RSVP is required for in-person attendance! When: Thursday, February 19th Doors open at 4:15pm, presentation begins at 4:45pm 181 West Madison Street 18th floor Chicago, Illinois 60602 Social hour at Cardozo's after the presentation: 170 W Washington St Chicago, IL 60602 This event has been graciously sponsored by [Selby Jennings](https://www.selbyjennings.com/)

Come join us for a Spanish Language meetup at the Dill Pickle. We will be practicing our Spanish with informal, small group conversations. All Spanish language levels are welcome. We will meet at the Dill Pickle Food Co-op in Logan Square (2746 N Milwaukee Ave) on Thursday, February 16th from 6pm-8pm.

[Create a profile and grab tickets to see the language list here: intlcafe.io](intlcafe.io) At INT'L CAFE you can make some new friends and practice speaking a language that you are learning or already know. There will be a table for each language requested. Feel free to move around to different tables if you speak multiple languages. We generally have English, Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Ukrainian and ASL tables. This is a casual, social event with a large number of attendees. You will have the opportunity to practice speaking other languages and meet people from all different cultures and backgrounds, but if you are looking for a quiet, intimate conversational group, you may want to look elsewhere.
