Dear Mr. New Mayor, whoever you are ... An open letter about theater and the arts in Chicago

Chicago Tribune.com: "First, Mr. New Mayor, do no harm. Mayor Richard M. Daley took the heat for the creation of the downtown theater district, which now hums with life. Along with Millennium Park, it is one of Daley’s signature achievements and a crucial part of the Loop’s renewal. Aside from reinvigorating downtown, Daley also ensured that theater is a part of the Michigan Avenue mix. And with only a few exceptions, he was an indefatigable support of theater in the neighborhoods. But all of that will require maintenance from his successor. Of two distinct kinds."
