Chi’s Packed Summer Schedule, Smog Problems, and Spring is Here!

City Cast Chicago

As summer festival lineups emerge, some Douglass Park neighbors are still protesting Riot Fest’s expected appearance on the West Side in September. Meanwhile, a packed summer schedule means Grant Park will only be open about four days this summer. Host Jacoby Cochran is joined by Tribune music writer Britt Julious and Kelly Garcia with Injustice Watch to talk about what they love about summer fests and some of the problems they pose. They also talk about smog in Chicago, allegations of inhumane treatment at Cook County’s juvenile detention center, and some gooooood news to get you through.
