"SQUEEZE THE CHEESE!"
Enjoy the playoffs! GO BEARS!

Yesterday morning I heard a woman at a crosswalk say to her friend, “Why is it that in winter, in Chicago, every day feels like a Monday?”
I could not help but cringe. It was at that moment I realised that Making Chicago Home needed to kick back into high gear. With all of the fun, amazing and unique things happening around our fair city, we have no one (and nothing!) to blame but ourselves if we are not having a great time!
When I want to kick the blues, I turn to something that always makes me feel better: music.
Yesterday I had the pleasure to shake off the chilly, rainy weather and park my tush in Symphony Center to hear the Chicago Sinfonietta present A Dream Unfolds, their annual tribute concert to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The concert opened with pieces by Ulysses Kay (Theater Set) and George Walker (Lyric for Strings), both conducted by Music Director Paul Freeman.
