City Cast Chicago

About

Plus, who will lead the powerful zoning committee, where is the Supreme Court leaning on Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship, and why do Chicago seniors love Back of the Yards Coffeehouse? We are joined by WTTW’s Joanna Hernandez and Axios Chicago’s Carrie Shepherd.
