Letter from the Staff: Tourist in your own town

We here at Chicago Star want to thank you. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes and communities. We hope our positive, uplifting news makes you proud to be a Chicagoan and will help you rediscover the city that you call home.

Even though we’re only three issues in, we are so grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve received. It’s reassuring to know that our paper’s focus has resonated. In our third issue, we have spread our wings and will be distributed in over 300 buildings downtown. Additionally, you will soon be able to buy our paper from newsstands and grocery stores. With deep appreciation from the Chicago Star staff, we give special shout-outs to our advertisers and community partners, both new and old, who believe and support our mission.

These organizations make Chicago the greatest city in the world and, with their stewardship, it will only continue to grow.
