One thing Daniel Burnham didn’t shy away from was criticism. He knew that Chicago had too much potential that was withering away. Before he even sat down to write the “Streets” section of his 1909 plan, Chicago’s City Council had spent decades trying to rename, renumber, and reimagine the city streets.

One of the largest projects that the plan broke down was transportation. The ideas were large and costly. Burnham dedicated a great part of his plan to remapping the city with a focus on how people and freight interacted.

The Burnham Plan of Chicago stands as a clear example of an era when wealthy power players used their influence to shape the city, believing, at least in part, that their vision would serve the public good. Were they always right? Not necessarily. But given the choice, I’ll take an ambitious parks system over another phallic rocket launched into space any day.

The roar of Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was not just the sound of industry and stockyards; it was the rising collective voice of women demanding influence, education, and reform. Far from the halls of government, these voices were first amplified within the elegant, often unassuming walls of women's clubs, institutions that were simultaneously havens for self-improvement and clandestine engines of social change. The history of Chicago's development is incomplete without tracing the impact of these organizations. They provided the intellectual and organizational springboard for women to step out of the domestic sphere and into the civic arena.

How many statues of women exist in the city of Chicago; people have asked this question every year in March for the last decade at least! What I found most surprising is that we’re still getting the same answer. Why are there only a handful of monuments?

This week is one of our favorites. Chicago turns 189, it’s Women’s History Month, and you can finally feel that little hint of spring in the air. There was no way we were skipping a celebration of Chicago’s birthday — so we did what we love most: dove!
