Summer in Chicago invariably arrives after little in the way of spring: all of a sudden, or so it feels, Chicagoans emerge from their homes to remind themselves why so many of us chose to move here. This past weekend serves as a perfect example. The city was bathed in warmth and sunlight and filled with delighted, delightful Swifties, or Taylor Swift fans, some of whom found themselves jostling for sidewalk space with credentialed and baffled delegates from the American Society of Oncology conference.
In neighborhoods across the city, street fairs cranked up. Downtown, a young man was singing “Maria” at the Lyric Opera of Chicago as “The Who’s Tommy” rehearsed nearby at the Goodman Theatre. In the West Loop, as the sun set, valet parkers looked overwhelmed by the crowds at restaurants.
Chicago has had many rough periods as of late. But let the record show that the first weekend of June 2023, when the sidewalks of the city felt much busier than anytime in the past three years, went very well, considering.
