Hi all,

Note from Nicole Kalajian: As many of you are aware, Chicago’s loop has been my home and place of work for over 20 years. It is heart-breaking to see the toll that our city has suffered over the last few days (as well as the last few months). Hopefully we all come through the recent suffering as a stronger city and nation. I wish everyone the best during these tough times and would like to share some of my husband’s photos of Chicago in the recent days. I couldn’t bear to take any pictures. That is me with the broom. Thank you to all of the volunteers and workers that have been working around the clock to clean up our beautiful city. We can get through this together!
