The Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, the Second City—No Matter What You Call It, the 1,900 Alumni in Chicago Love to Show O≠ Their Town Show Us Your Town The Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, the Second City—no matter what you call it, the 1,900 alumni in Chicago love to show o≠ their town. By Maya Dukmasova ’12 As the air turns crisp in the early days of fall, Chicago’s Lake Michigan beaches close for the season—but even if she’s not going for a swim, Brittany Hopkins ’14 frequently visits the strip of sand between one of the world’s largest lakes and the rearing skyscrapers of American’s third‑larg‑ est city. On some days the lake stretches out in a placid sheet, the water a Caribbean turquoise; on others it roils in tattered, gun‑metal gray waves. “In Chicago, people are very in tune and engaged with the lake,” she says. “It’s just such a beautiful view.” Chicago’s lakefront has been almost exclusively reserved for public recre‑ ation since the early 20th century. Roughly 26 miles of parkland and beaches separate development from the waters along the city’s eastern edge. And whether you’re someone like Hopkins, with roots in the city stretching back three generations, or you’re a newcomer, the lake is a continual draw. As Javaree Walker ’12S (MS), ’15S (MBA), a recent transplant from the East Coast, sees it, Chicago’s “Riviera” rivals the city beaches of Miami—and defi‑ nitely surpasses those of New York. He often recommends that people come in the warmer months not only to enjoy them but also to truly acquire a taste for Chicago. 30 ROCHESTER REVIEW Winter 2019 JIM PRISCHING FOR ROCHESTER REVEW rr_Winter2019.indb 30 2/4/19 11:34 AM HOME IS WHERE THE SKYLINE IS: Captivated by the Lake Michigan “Riviera” that he says rivals any American beachfront, Long Island native Javaree Walker ’12S (MS), ’15S (MBA) fell in love with Chicago after moving to the city in 2013.

  • LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
    THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.
