The global population connects to their ancestors and relatives through food, environment and culture. In Chicago, residents are surrounded with opportunities to celebrate and relate to others from different backgrounds.
The marketing organization Choose Chicago set out on a mission to not only connect travelers to all that the Third Coast has to offer, but to also give residents insight into this vast, diverse landscape as well.
On April 6 in the afternoon an exclusive premiere screening of the company's latest endeavor The 77: A City of Neighborhoods was held at CIBC Theatre on 18 West Monroe Street.
Guests entered the venue after a red-carpet opportunity to enjoy libations before everyone gathered for formal announcements. Three short films clocking in around 25 minutes each were presented to thunderous applause, then after a quick break, two more short films were screened and a reception followed where the ravenous crowd could sample some of the delicious treats found throughout the various films. Old Fashioned Donuts, Inc. supplied a handmade dessert in a carryout bag as attendees exited the establishment.
