Welcome
to Chicago!
You’ve chosen to live in the Great
American City, and you won’t be disappointed.
Chicago has everything you could want in a city:
wonderful neighborhoods, a thriving downtown, world-class
cultural and educational institutions, an excellent public
transportation system and fine shopping, restaurants and
recreational opportunities.
Others agree. A story in the Wall Street Journal called Chicago
“American’s urban paradise,” while a recent article in the New
York Times said Chicago, “the quintessential American
city…enters the 21st century as a prosperous,
well-governed model for the rest of the country.”
If you have children, or are thinking of having them, you’ll be
impressed with the improvements in the Chicago Public Schools.
We’ve spent almost $2 billion on capital improvements in the
last five years, and our strengthened educational programs have
been hailed by President Clinton as a national model for school
reform.
Wherever you choose to live in Chicago, I hope you’ll get
involved in community activities: block clubs, neighborhood
organizations, community policing and advisory boards for
schools, parks and libraries. Our longstanding tradition of
community participation is one of the main reasons why Chicago
is the best city in the nation in which to live, work and raise
a family.
Sincerely,
Richard M. Daley
Mayor |
