Why is The 78 Getting $425M? Plus, Chicago Summer Music Magic

Last week, alderpeople approved a $425 million infrastructure plan at ‘The 78’ in the South Loop, anchored by the forthcoming Chicago Fire stadium. Contributor Leigh Giangreco is here with details, including why few alders voted against it. Plus, Al Scorch walks us through a magical week of Chicago summer music, and we’ve got thoughts on delivery during extreme weather. We’re doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag. Good News: Pullman Railroad Days Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
