Letters: How can we reinvent downtown Chicago? trib.al/ealofIX

Chicago shouldn’t just wait for the old downtown to come back. We need a Loop people choose to be in
-The nation’s premier winter city,
-More activity after 5pm (including food carts)
-Making better use of unused spaces (alleys!) ala Melbourne and Tokyo
-More pop ups in vacant storefronts and less incentive to keep them empty Let’s build the next Loop. Read the full plan at stantonforchicago.com

The idea here is a virtuous cycle. More activity and a more lively loop will lead to more people choosing to be downtown, including workers coming back to office and more people wanting to live in the loop. That environment then becomes a place where businesses want to have offices. And a strong downtown helps the entire city. Whole plan here: stantonforchicago.com/s/LivelyLoop

Chicago can’t give up on business. While collar employment needs to be the central plank in the Loop’s future or the city will suffer a major diminution of status. The key question is how to renew or replace its obsolete office buildings.

Absolutely heartbroken to hear about the loss of a young life in Rogers Park this morning. I grew up in that neighborhood and know it like the back of my hand. No family should wake up to news like this. We owe it to every neighborhood to take public safety seriously and to support the investigation so those responsible are held accountable. chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/03/…

One big lesson from Illinois that campaign folks need to learn again and again: Money is important but it isn’t everything. Not even close.

@royalpratt Same deal on other end with Litcy. Major out performer. Congrats Paul Kendrick!

The dollar per votes for Karim Lakhani, who’s down significantly so far against Paul Kendrick, will make for interesting analysis later. I haven’t been able to watch a YouTube clip without a Lakhani ad in ages

@royalpratt 😆😆😆

Happy Election Day to all, even the people who would rather ran for office than go to therapy

@MaryAnnAhernNBC @chicagobars @ChicagosMayor Check your inbox in the morning!

Mayor’s news conference canceled 5 mins before scheduled. Only 2 people there to ask questions as it’s Election Day. But oh don’t fret, we’re going to be focused on City February election starting tomorrow! ⁦@ChicagosMayor⁩

Downtown Chicago can no longer depend primarily on people who are required to be there for work, writes Liam Stanton. trib.al/CA59oaJ

@nickdk Thank you 🙏. No better guide to the loop than Nick!

This is spot on. There's so much potential in the Loop.

Chicago shouldn’t wait for the old downtown to return. We should build what comes next. My @chicagotribune op-ed on the future of the loop 👇…stay tuned for the whole plan

NW Side Irish Parade ☘️. Great to meet so many neighbors (and many other Liam's!). June is making strong push for deputy mayor 🦮

What a Weekend it will be! #HappyStPaddys (toss us a shilling if ya can then ☘️) stantonforchicago.com

Transit reform only works if the right people run it. As new regional transit boards are appointed, totally agree that we should prioritize real expertise in operations, engineering, and major infrastructure. Competence > connections citythatworks.substack.com/p/who-should-l…

Ep 2 of MCC. Candidly, when we announced our run for mayor of Chicago - we did not anticipate the condiment discourse and/or discussing Keith Van Horn - but here we are 😆

Happy International Women’s Day! One thing that stands out this election cycle - in Chicago and across the state - is how many women are running for office. Just a bit of research shows it’s about 3-4x more than 20 years ago. One very cool race - the race for Illinois Comptroller is an all-female field. Make a plan to vote!
