Loop Restaurants Resurging, Chicago’s Climate Resilience, And Meet Us At Lit Fest

from City Cast Chicago · host City Cast

A 2026 study has ranked Chicago as the ‘World’s Most Climate Resilient’ major city. After a summer of torrential storms, tornado warnings, and wildfire smoke, we ask contributors Anna DeShawn and Leigh Giangreco how much they are buying that headline. Plus, after years of pandemic recovery efforts, Loop restaurants seem to be bouncing back, and we’ve got even more recommendations for this weekend’s Printer’s Row Lit Fest.  Check out the podcast on YouTube Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
