    Michelle, I hope the portion of the Riverwalk is what we know as “Michelle’s Woods” (aka “the theater”)..

    Great news and so well deserved. Has everyone noticed how good the Riverwalk always looks? And safe? Clearly, the city shares our pride and the brilliant planning of Michelle, Carol Ross-Barney, landscape designers and more who made this possible and, so far, seems to be maintaining it. Thanks, Michelle.

    Your support of the City of Chicago and the CAC will be missed. Your willingness to answer bundles of Riverwalk questions so we could make the tour special was so helpful and appreciated. Good luck in your retirement!
