I LOVE CHICAGO

“I love Chicago” is about encouraging a different narrative in 2017 and showing love to a city we call home. Hosted by the Chicago in 77 Project, “I love Chicago” will bring together several local authors to read stories about their relationship with the city. Share some of your favorite Chicago experiences while connecting with other local singles. Soulful and funky sounds provided by local Chicago band Willy Dynomite.

The Chicago in 77 (Ci77) Project was born out of the book with the same name – “Chicago in 77.” Written and published by Karen Roddie, the book chronicles her day-to-day visits for work and fun through Chicago’s community areas. The Ci77 Project aims to encourage residents to cultivate a deeper understanding of Chicago. Through a variety of events, The Ci77 Project will bring Chicagoans closer together to rebuild a network of trust among neighbors and neighborhoods. We may be 77 community areas, but we are one city.
