This video was filmed on December 6, 2007 of the Christkindlmarket and Daley Plaza's festive Holiday decorations. The City of Chicago's 90 foot Christmas Tree is actually made up of 130 smaller trees   more...lashed together. Christkindlmarket started in 1996 and is the largest German market of its kind in the country. Many of the items are handcrafted from hand-blown glass ornaments, nutcrackers, cuckoo clocks, jewelry, toys, clothing, and German food and drink galore! Yum!  less

Tuesday, April 7, 2009: Members of the International Olympic Committees Evaluation Commission made their first public comments today in regards to Chicagos 2016 Olympic bid. The chairwoman of the IOCs   more...evaluation commission says members were most impressed by what Chicago could offer the Olympics.

According to the Chicago 2016 venue plan, 72 percent of the sports will be located in facilities that are largely completed. The location of the Olympic Village puts 90 percent of the athletes within 15 minutes of their competition venues. Situated on the lakefront, the Village is a short distance away from the Olympic live sites, celebration centers and the heart of Chicagos downtown area.

Addressing questions about Chicagos lack of blanket guarantee to cover the cost of the games IOC Officials said all of the bid cities are facing economic difficulties in the current recession.

The city of Chicago had opened its arms to members of the International Olympic Committees (IOC) Evaluation Commission in an effort to win the honor of becoming the official host city for the 2016 Summer Games. The IOC evaluation delegates have been reviewing detailed written, video and oral presentations from the Chicago 2016 staff.

The International Olympic Committees (IOC) Evaluation Commission team now heads to Tokyo, and then to the other two finalist cities; Madrid and Rio de Janeiro. The final decision as to which city will host the 2016 Olympics will be made by secret ballot of one hundred and fifteen (115) voting IOC members in October 2009.

Chicago is the first stop on the IOCs 2016 Summer Games Host City tour. In addition to the delegates reviewing numerous sports venues, they are also visiting cultural sites, local attractions, as well as meeting with local representatives, citizens and school kids.

The Chicago 2016 effort has actually been three years in the making as organizers have been reaching out to students, citizens, business owners, and community leaders to make the games a reality in the Windy City.

Barry Dolins on HammondCast, Chicago Blues Festival 2007
Jon Hammond in Chicago IL interviewing Barry Dolins is Deputy Director of the Mayor’s Office of Special Events and the coordinator of the Chicago   more...Blues Festival since 1985 on HammondCast show for KYOU & KYCY Radio 1550AM (San Francisco CA) Headliners & Program for 2007 Chicago Blues Festival: Thursday 6/7 1:30 PM Aaron Moore If this pianist hadn't opted for a dependable day gig with Chicago's Bureau of Streets and San in the 50s, relegating the blues to his spare time, he might now be as revered as Otis Spann or Johnny Jones. In the decade since his retirement he's made an enthusiastic return to music, his hearty vocal style and rollicking technique -- much influenced by Roosevelt Sykes -- still intact. --BD
Henry Gray was raised in Louisiana, giving his rolling 88s a slightly different slant. When he lived here in the 50s, he recorded as a sideman with Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, Billy Boy Arnold, and Howlin' Wolf, eventually spending a dozen years in Wolf's band. He returned to Baton Rouge in 1968, but his back-alley vocals and two-fisted piano playing still blend swamp blues with driving Windy City shuffles. --BD For more info: http://www.HammondCast.com c)2007  less

http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com On Thursday, Chicago Mayor, Richard M. Daley announced a plan to reduce heat-trapping gases. The plan calls for a reformation of the Chicago’s building codes, the installation   more...of solar panels at municipal properties, and the creation of alternative fueling stations. In 1990, Chicago pledged to reduce the amount of emissions of heat-trapping gases 25 percent by 2020. According to Ron Burke, a Union of Concerned Scientists director, Chicago’s plan to measure and cut the amount of emissions is much more specific then other cities. Not only does Burke have confidence in the plan, he also believes that if prompt action is not taken, the city will encounter 30 more days of 100-degree weather at the close of the century. This plan was collaborated over 18 months and included extensive research, discussions, and conferences with environmentalists, scientists, business and labor leaders. The success of this plan is going to be determinative on the community, but Chicago’s chief environmental officer, Sadhu Johnston, believes that the community is ready and willing to contribute, particularly to cut fuel prices. “We don’t need mandates,” Johnston said, “so much as we need to give people the tools that allow them to green their own lives.” As part of the plan, residents will receive tips on how to cut energy expenses in their everyday lives. In addition, an “$800 challenge” will also be proposed to award the office that conserves the most energy. Mayor Richard Daley believes that “we can’t solve the world’s climate change problem in Chicago, but we can do our part.” He also believes that the plan is a “model for the rest of the nation.”  less
