While cleanup at Grant Park is ongoing following a massive, rain-soaked Lollapalooza, Mayor Johnson called this year’s festival “the prelude of what’s to come… the top destination for college graduates is Chicago.” We are joined by contributors Yareni Murillo and Pj Walker to dive into why more young people are moving to Chicago. Plus, a west side nonprofit is making it easier to recycle old electronics, and the iconic Rainbow Cone is celebrating 100 years.
