I encourage everyone to visit Chicago when you are able. 40,000 runners from around the world will be here this weekend for the famous Chicago Marathon. Runners go through TWENTY NINE neighborhoods during their trek. Each is culturally rich and diverse. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergMuch has been said about Chicago lately. Many bad descriptions have been promoted. As a 51 year resident of Chicago and former Chicago Public School teacher, I find it important share the GREATNESS of Chicago. I am a proud Chicago resident and would not think of moving. The numerous city parks are used and loved. They are safe! Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergStreet festivals have been a prevalent stable of summertime and early fall. They are well atended and diverse in food and merchandise and musical entertainment. Festivals can be found throughout Chicago in most neighborhoods. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergOutdoor cafes thrived, along with thriving tourisam this summer. The reason is because Chicago is a beautiful, inviting city. Sure, there is crime. But anwhere people reside, anywhere, there is always some crime. And Chicago is NOT at the top of this list by any means. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergOne image from a moment in Chicago’s loop.
