I love …
… the colorful spring flowers planted at City Hall and the Daley Center. It gives me a “lift.”
— Barbara Rieffel, Chicago
… Phil, the Navy Pier trolley driver, who befriends every passenger and is such a wonderful ambassador for our city.
— Jan Kuramoto, Chicago
… Chicago Water Taxi on a sunny spring morning. What a great way to start the day.
— Micky Patrick, Arlington Heights
…the newly installed pink stone pavers at Buckingham Fountain, which replaced the dusty pink pebbles. An already picturesque scene has been dramatically enhanced.
— John Brand, Chicago
I hate …
… when Chicago Symphony audiences break into tumultuous applause BEFORE the last exquisite notes have a chance to linger for a nanosecond before fading away forever.
— Karen Steil, Arlington Heights
… when you’re spending $20 for breakfast and a coffee shop still charges you for a pot of hot water and lemon slice — when they don’t have real herbal tea.
— Judy Hevrdejs, reporter
… that spring supposedly runs from late March to late June, but we don’t seem to receive beautiful spring weather for more than 3-4 weeks (after subtracting the cold and/or snowy/sleety days … and the hot and/or rainy days).
— Paul Lockwood, Woodstock
