Chicago’s summer buzz

By Jack C. Doppelt | July 15th, 2011

It’s summertime in Chicago. You feel it along the lakefront, on the beaches, in the parks and streets, at the festivals. It’s music to the ear, outdoor concerts as backdrop to conversations in every language. Immigrants, tourists, performers, extended families and friends seizing the day and whiling away the nights. Here’s a cloudburst of festivals and events we visited last summer when we recorded the voices and stories of 150 people who help bring this city to life. Enjoy.
