The event now has an expanded footprint as organizers try not only to bring a boost to businesses but also to change the way people percieve downtown Chicago.
Sundays on State is back for its second year -- this time with an expanded footprint, stretching from Lake Street to Monroe along State Street. Organizers have big goals for the summer street festival.
The pandemic thrust the Loop into an identity crisis. But this -- art, music, dance, food and fun -- is the downtown the Chicago Loop Alliance wants you to see. "Being a small business owner, there's a lot of challenges to promoting your product as is," said Taniesha Depluzer. First timer Dorien Humphrey is hoping for a similar boost to her burgeoning boutique business. Humphrey said she'll soon open a storefront near 88th and Stony Island, but this gets her in front of customers she might otherwise miss.
