“If we have to say no, I’ve failed in my job because I’ve failed to find the middle ground and move the project forward.”

– Alderman Brendan Reilly

Alderman Brendan Reilly unveiled updates for the Lakeshore East development plans. The new designs include one less tower and more green space. Rendering courtesy of bKL Architecture

IJKL, from Page 3 about half green space and that should improve pedestrian and bike traffic through the area. The green space will be developed and maintained by private developers but it will be a public park, similar to Lakeshore East Park.

“We wanted it to be universal access.

We wanted it to be universal to all,” said Tom Kerwin, an architect from bKL

Architecture.

For the most part, residents’ concerns and complaints were focused on traffic and safety, both of which Alderman Reilly said the development group would continue to address.

Upon news of the larger green space, several residents complained of people using illicit substances and homelessness

in nearby parks. Reilly suggested residents call 911 and be willing to make an official complaint if they see illegal activity in parks. The proposed green space will have a camera system and a funnel to direct pedestrians through surveillance areas, he said.

“You’ll be able to get eyes east and west,” Reilly said. “We will know who’s going through the neighborhood.”

Last summer Reilly introduced construction plans to the NEAR group and since then, his office has been receiving feedback.

Reilly has not signed off on the project and the meeting was intended to show how resident feedback has been incorporated into the designs.

“Negotiations have been many, many, many hours long,” Reilly told the audience at the start of the meeting. Those negotiations, he said, stemmed from community concerns.

“I don’t know if you’ve read, but there’s a story about the municipal race and it’s suggested there’s a habit that I drive developers crazy,” Reilly said. “And while I cringed a little bit, I realized it’s part of doing my job.”

Reilly told the audience he must also

work for business interests.

“If we have to say no, I’ve failed in my job because I’ve failed to find the middle ground and move the project forward,” he said.

One objection he would not entertain was that of residents who complained the new development would block views.

“I can’t protect your view,” Reilly told a resident. “That’s not the role of an alderman and that’s not how development works in a big city. If you want me to protect your view, I’m not your guy.”

Another concern involved pedway development. Several residents asked about forcing developers to build an underground pedestrian walkway but Reilly said that wasn’t going to happen.

“I don’t have the jurisdiction to assign a $10 million dollar obligation for a pedway system,” he said.

Following the meeting, Reilly said he thought the discussion went well and while he does not expect to have any more public meetings on the development, his office is still taking resident concerns.

East end of Riverwalk to see $10 million makeover

By Taylor Hartz Staff Writer The east end of the Chicago Riverwalk will be getting a $10 million makeover, according to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The improvements should be completed by 2020.

In August, the mayor hosted a press conference announcing plans to revitalize sections of the Riverwalk east of Michigan Avenue to Lake Shore Drive. The city will focus on improving older sections of the Riverwalk.

“The Riverwalk changed the way people

interact with the Chicago River, transforming the waterfront into the city’s next recreational frontier,” Emanuel said in a statement. “The riverfront investments we are making will make the entire 1.25 mile stretch inviting to residents and visitors, increase recreational opportunities and continue to promote economic growth.”

According to the mayor’s office, the Lake Shore Drive entrance for the Ellen Lanyon Gateway will get improved landscaping, outdoor public seating and a viewing area for Ellen Lanyon murals.

At the August Community Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) meeting in the 001st District, Sgt. Anthony Dombrowski announced new options for homeless residents in the area.

Dombrowski said some of the shelters will now admit pets as well as people who are intoxicated and who would otherwise be tossed out of other shelters. One new shelter, operated by the Franciscan Outreach program, is specifically for people on Lower Wacker in the downtown area.

Meanwhile, area residents complained about bucket boys and the noise they make, playing buckets for tips from tourists.

Dombrowski said if people are bothered by noise, they should call police because regular patrol officers are not always there to enforce noise restrictions without a complaint.

“You should call 911 and say that there is a noise disturbance and you want to be a complainant and speak to a police officer [in person], because you can’t be a complainant over the phone.”

Reilly seeks feedback on Aon project

By Taylor Hartz Staff Writer Alderman Brendan Reilly (42nd Ward) is looking for feedback on the redevelopment of the highest floor of the Aon Center into an observatory and restaurant.

The project will turn the highest floor of the Aon Center—in the heart of New Eastside at 200 E. Randolph St.—into an attraction projected to draw more than two million visitors annually. The proposed space will be accessible by a glass-enclosed external elevator on the Northwest corner.

Reilly co-hosted a community meeting with the Chicago Loop Alliance earlier this year at The Mid-America Club to discuss plans with residents. More than 100 community members attended.

“Neighbors raised concerns related to increased vehicular and pedestrian

With museum, Chicago gets a slice of the pizza history pie

By Jesse Wright Staff Writer Everyone knows pizza has long been big business in Chicago. With dozens of restaurants all through the city and suburbs offering a wide variety of styles and traditions, it is no surprise that Chicago is known as a destination city for pizza aficionados.

But now there’s more than pizza. Last month the U.S. Pizza Museum opened at the Roosevelt Collection Shop, 150 Roosevelt Road, adding an important side dish to the meal itself—history.

Kendall Bruns founded the museum several years ago as a series of pop-up events at various pizza restaurants. With gathered steam—and funding—he is hoping to make the Roosevelt Collection address a permanent home of his pizza memorabilia. Indeed, the museum itself is less a collection of pizza lore and myth as it is a collection of pop culture ephemera— important to pizza lovers of the late 20th century and a fun trip down memory lane for most people.

The space opened Aug. 10 and judging

Bruns describes himself as a pizza agnostic and said the national social media debate about his museum was not intentional.

Bruns said he hopes pizza unites more than it divides.

“People can get passionate, but it doesn’t have to be this division,” he said.

Bruns said any type of pizza can be tasty.

“I enjoy all different styles of pizza,” he said. “And everyone should.”

He explained that the food should unify Americans because whatever style they grew up eating, the food itself has a special place in most peoples’ memories.

“People have this connection to their memories of the pizza they ate growing US Pizza Museum Founder and Director Kendall Bruns shares his impressive collection of pizza up,” he explained. memorabilia which is located in the Roosevelt Collection.

“I try to understand why [readers] tend to gravitate toward [digital] storytelling and then ask how do we participate in that space,” Taylor said. “How do we sell stories on those platforms and get those readers to interact with us?”

If that is the main question facing legacy news outlets, Tribune leaders believe the Prudential Plaza could provide the answer.

Without walls to divide the newsroom, the operation works like a hive—each reporter working on his or her story, toward a common goal of greater readership. At the center of the newsroom, reporters have access to digital metrics, scorecards that track how well stories are performing and connecting with readers.

“As we pursue different ways we tell stories, we’re not just driving everything toward the printed product and we want the people who understand those platforms best to be part of the conversation.”

– Christine Taylor, Managing Editor, Audience everything we do,” Taylor said.

It’s a new way of reporting, in a new location, and Facilities Director Lynne Allen said the move was rough, especially on long-time employees who felt a personal connection with the old tower.

“It was hard for people,” Allen said. “It’s an iconic building.”

For nearly a century, that iconic building was home. The Tribune moved into the Tower on July 6, 1925. Within those walls, presidents visited with editors, Ann Landers, Mike Royko and Gene Siskel banged out innumerable columns and hundreds of reporters pursued leads, called up sources and did the work that earned the paper 25 Pulitzer Prizes.

Despite the move, that history is far from forgotten in the Tribune’s new home in Prudential Plaza. In one corner, two couches, relics from Ann Landers’ office, sit ready for reporters to use during a break.

Historic front pages, etched in glass and illuminated from behind, line hallways.

Quotes, taken from Tribune Tower’s front lobby now glisten in new shiny steel, old relics and artwork juxtaposed against a sleek modern day office interior. A historic wooden editorial board table, with chairs so worn that the leather has split, are given prominent positions in the the office

landscape.

“If we had good furniture, we tried to reuse it,” Allen said.

In the middle of it all, a broad highway of a staircase connects the Tribune’s three floors. Allen calls them the “town hall stairs,” designed to accommodate staff for all employee meetings. The staircase also opens up the space, unifying the separate floors.

Eastlake Studio designed the space, and Allen said adding the wide staircase through the heart of their property in Prudential Plaza was no small feat.

“This was probably the most ambitious part of the project,” she said. “The stairs interconnect our space and make everything make sense.”

This, Allen explained, is a big difference from Tribune Tower.

“The Tower was a dark space with small windows,” she said. Floor to ceiling windows surround the office space at The Prudential Plaza. “Here, it’s nice to look out over Millennium Park all day long,” Allen said.

She said the newspaper looked at several properties but Prudential Plaza was the best.

“We couldn’t have ended up at a better place,” she said.

The place to go when you want to put a lid on it

By Elizabeth Czapski Staff Writer Wherever there are sports teams, there is passion—and for the passionate, there are hats. For New Eastside sports fans, Lids, 175 N. Michigan Ave., is the place to go.

Based in Indianapolis, Lids sells hats in more than 1,000 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The clientele at this Lids location is diverse, said assistant manager Justin Gordon. “We get a lot of international shoppers, and then we have a lot of residents from the South Side and West Side of Chicago,” Gordon said. He added it’s also a favorite of locals.

Gordon said there’s often a morning rush, with a line outside a half hour before the store opens. He said the most popular items are fitted Cubs and Sox hats. “People

love those. Those always are flying off the racks, and we always have to replenish them,” he said. With fall just around the corner, Gordon said customers have been looking for bucket hats and beanies.

When the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, demand for Cubs gear soared sky-high.

“This store got really good numbers off the Cubs,” Gordon said. “Any place that was selling Cubs anything was packed. It was crazy.”

Lids also offers custom embroidery with anything from Chicago stars to a favorite player’s name and number, Gordon said.

Lids can also add kingpins to the hats, with numerous design options available.

A White Sox and Bears fan himself, Gordon said he has about 300 hats from Lids.

sin, was visiting Chicago with his family and bought a Durham Bulls hat to add to his collection. His younger brother J.T. bought a Brewers hat. “I collect hats, and it’s an easy, good way to bring something back to Wisconsin from Chicago not Cubs-related,” Kaul said.

Yvonne Fernandes, who is from Australia and lives in the U.K., was in Chicago

because her husband was attending a conference. “I was sent by my children to go look for hats, for Cubs hats, apparently,” she said as she searched through the Lids displays for the perfect hat to take home.

When asked if the Cubs are popular in the U.K., Fernandes said, “I have no idea. I just do as I’m told.”

Ditch the daze: Return to school without the drama

By Elizabeth Czapski Staff Writer The start of school may bring stress for many students and parents, but luckily, there are ways to cope with the anxieties of a new academic year.

Dr. Stephanie Grunewald, a licensed clinical psychologist at Restorative Counseling at 155 N. Michigan Ave., said that two of the biggest school stressors for kids are “the ambiguity of what to expect” and getting back into a routine. Bullying also stresses kids out, whether it’s “overt bullying” like physical aggression and name-calling or “social pressure to feel like [the students] fit in a certain way,” Grunewald said.

“Depending on the age group, what they’re stressed about tends to change,” she said. Younger children might worry about finding their classroom or what school will be like; middle schoolers are dealing with

bodily changes and developing new friendship groups; high schoolers often face academic pressure from parents and teachers and worry about getting into college.

She warned that students might not say outright that they’re stressed. “They will just sort of say that they’re having a hard time. Little ones will sometimes just say that they don’t feel good about it,” Grunewald said.

Grunewald said that signs of stress vary depending on the child. “Your child might seem like they’re either just completely shutting you off or shutting down,” she said. “They’re so overstimulated at school that when they come home… they might just not speak as much.”

On the other hand, some children may talk more. “Instead of seeming like they’re excited, it can feel overwhelming with how much they’re conveying,” Grunewald said.

Sometimes, kids start acting out and becoming more defiant, she said. All of these

behaviors can be indicators of stress.

Parents aren’t immune to back-to-school anxiety either, Grunewald said. Getting back into a routine can be hard for them too, and many parents feel pressure to have their child perform at a certain level in school.

One key coping mechanism that Grunewald recommends is taking downtime as a family. “A big thing is really being mindful of your schedule and not taking on too much, really prioritizing time together and checking in with one another, and just making sure that each day there’s some wind down time where no electronics are present, no expectations are set,” she said, adding that many families use dinnertime to do this.

For parents, keeping things organized, like putting backpacks in a certain spot and having things laid out for the next morning, can help establish a routine, Grunewald said. When it comes to perfor-

mance pressure, she said that she works with parents “on how to accept their child for who they are, rather than feeling that they need to compare.”

Teachers can also help alleviate anxiety through meet-and-greets, where students can meet the teacher and find their locker and classroom before the first day, Grunewald said. “That really helps decrease a lot of the anxiety because there aren’t so many unknowns,” she said. “Most people become anxious when there’s ambiguity and uncertainty, and so the more you can take that away, the better it is for the students.”

Finally, Grunewald said that it’s important for students to know that feeling anxiety about the new school year is normal.

“That way they don’t feel like something is wrong with them for feeling the way that they feel,” she said.

“We lived in Evanston, and I loved Evanston … but when I walk down the street here, I almost invariably see somebody I know and we stop and chat,” she said. Mitzen has lived in Streeterville for 20 years and said the convenience and proximity to museums and good transportation make it a wonderful place for older adults and “an extraordinary community for intergenerational living.”

Donna Dugo, membership director at The Magnificent Mile Association and resident of Streeterville for more than 20 years, said she likes the community.

“I love the fact that I’m steps away

from Navy Pier, the lakefront and now the newly developed Riverwalk. I mean, I can be at all of these places in a five-to-10 minute walk,” Dugo said.

Streeterville is more than just the people. Pets are a powerful connecting force.

Amy Cherner, marketing and leasing coordinator for North Water Apartments, said she and her fiancé walk their dog around the neighborhood each night.

“We’ve gotten to the point where a lot of the faces are familiar, which is definitely kind of cool to have that in the middle of the city, and then really recognize your neighbors,” she said.

Cruising from summer job to boat captain

By Elizabeth Czapski Staff Writer When Gabriel Argumedo was 15, he got a summer job with Chicago’s First Lady Cruises and Mercury Cruises as a deckhand, taking tickets, cleaning bathrooms and acting as a lookout for the captain.

“When I started down here, I didn’t even know that Chicago had a river,” said Argumedo, who is originally from Barrington, Illinois. “That’s how green I was.”

Now 30, he has risen to the rank of captain, piloting vessels on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan for tours and private events. He also works as director of vessel operations and runs the maintenance department during the winter off-season.

Argumedo’s brother, David, works as a captain as well.

A typical day for Argumedo begins around 7:30 a.m., giving him and his crew time to prepare for the first river cruise at 9 a.m. They run safety drills first and then set up the boat and check that everything is working and ready to go. Then the tours begin—three to six each per day.

Argumedo offers several tours, including a Chicago Architecture Foundation river cruise and a river and lake tour, the latter being Argumedo’s favorite. “I never get tired of that view of the city from the lake.” He said his favorite moments on the lake are at sunset or at night.

When he does private events like corporate parties or weddings, Argumedo said he sometimes works late into the night. Piloting for private charters takes more skill and is, “more involved with the customer one-on-one, and you’re doing more custom routes and making a lot more decisions,” Argumedo said.

Argumedo said he loves his job because it changes every day and he’s constantly meeting new people.

“If you’re a social butterfly, this is definitely the job for you,” he said. Argumedo said he just likes being out on the water.

Some of his most exciting moments have involved rescuing other boats and

meeting celebrities, he said.

But being a boat captain does come with challenges—namely, dealing with river traffic.

“While there is plenty of room for everybody to be on [the river], the most difficult part is just getting the education out there of how to maneuver on the river,” Argumedo said.

He said the boating industry is always looking for good people to hire.

“I think most people are unaware that this opportunity or this industry even exists,” he said.

He said it’s possible for a boat lover to make a career out of it—and a fun one, at that. Argumedo said that because he enjoys what he does, “it really doesn’t feel like work most of the days.”

Doorperson of the Month: Adam Traore To commemorate our new Streeterville paper, this month our Doorperson of the Month hails from Streeterville.

By Jesse Wright Staff Writer Adam Traore has worked at the residential high-rise, Lake Point Tower, 505 N. Lakeshore Dr. for more than two years. The person who nominated Traore complimented his passion for his job, and said he is “energetic, friendly, enthusiastic, helpful and he always greets you with a smile.”

Traore said he appreciates and is thankful for the nomination.

“I like helping the people, when people come in and they need information to go to a restaurant. I am very happy to help them to find a restaurant or give them information about the beaches,” he said.

And the residents really take care of me and that helps me do my job.”

Traore said he previously worked as a hotel security guard, and then found his way to working the door.

Traore works the afternoon and evening shift, from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. He said most of the job is helping people, whether they are residents or outsiders.

“Most of the day people come in and they ask to see their friends and family in the building, and so you make phone calls and they go up,” Traore said. “Or the residents come in from work and they have groceries and you help them take it upstairs.”

Traore said he would recommend the job to someone who is outgoing and a people person.

“I would tell them and go ahead and become a doorman,” Traore said. “There’s nothing difficult about it. It’s a great job in Chicago. You get to know a lot of people.

You get to know different people and you get to know people with different backgrounds and it gives you a lot of experience in life.”

When he is not working, Traore said
