Alright, I am asking for advice again. Last time I got two recipes, so thanks for that; now I have other questions:
1. Will a Dogwood tree grow in Chicago? 'Cause I never see them around and I totally love them, but don't want to waste money on a tree that will die. If not, any other suggestions for pretty flowering trees that will grow in Chicago, and
2. Has anyone worked with a local landscaper that they have been happy with? (I know I can look on B.A.P.A., but we had bad luck with our first foray into their trade referrals.)

Chicago is in Zone 5 on the USDA Hardiness map. Dogwoods range from Zones 5-8 to 5-9 depending on the variety. So it should work out.
Quick google search provided a couple of helpful sites:

And finally, this regular person blogs about nursing and caring for her dogwood (nice and simply practical)
