The Windy City has embraced land sustainability far longer than you may think. In 1909, pioneering city planner Daniel Hudson Burnham created a long-range plan for the lakefront that balanced urban growth, and created a permanent greenbelt around the metropolitan area. This greening of the city continues through the Chicago Green Roof Program. More than 2.5 million square feet of city roofs support plant life -- including Willis Tower (formerly called Sears Tower) and the city hall building. Also, about 500,000 new trees have been planted.

VERY happy to see Glenelg having another good run this year. WAY overdue. Hope they go the extra step this year. Brings back fond memories of the 80's. Go the Bays!!!!
