While this years chapter didn’t end the way we had hoped, I can’t help but feel HOPEFUL & OPTIMISTIC! The great legend of Chicago is that it's a ‘phoenix city’ – it almost instantly rebuilt itself bigger and better from the ashes. This city and the people in it have always been resilient even with the challenges it has faced. This city was given a blank slate to rebuild just as WE have now. This is now “OUR” KIND OF TOWN and that in itself is exciting!
