  • 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.

The phrase we think fits is “strategic impatience.” Good leaders are impatient to spark action but understand that good strategy can make sure the action yields the result they want. Last September, when the Pennsylvania Economy League sponsored the Leadership Exchange visit to Chicago, we wanted to see what happens when enough people get both strategic and impatient. Over the course of three days, our group of 72 civic leaders — drawn from government, business, and the nonprofit sector — learned about a wide range of concrete achievements now helping metropolitan Chicago position itself for the 21st century.
