Sanitary district hiking sewer rates 400 percent over next nine years

Screen Scene: Highland Park's Allan Loeb took his time creating 'Fire'

“At some point, I had to get out of the business.”

Screenwriter Allan Loeb's overnight success took 14 years.

The Highland Park native, who wrote the Halle Berry/Benicio Del Toro drama 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' spent years, if not as an aimless wanderer, then at least as journeyman with a healthy disregard for the compass. He dropped out of college, followed the Grateful Dead and worked at the Chicago Board of Trade before moving to Los Angeles to pursue the screen trade.

Below, Loeb tells Screen Scene about his career, his love for the Dead and belated success. Read more
