[♪♪♪] >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

>> AND AIM PARIS SCHUTZ.

ON THE SHOW TONIGHT... >> WE HAVE THEM ALL THE TIME.

>> WITH COVID SURGING CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO GET COVID TESTED BEFORE COMING BACK TO CLASS.

>> DESPITE THE PANDEMIC IT'S BEEN A STELLAR YEAR FOR STOCKS AND THE ECONOMY.

WE ASSESS THE OUTLOOK FOR 2022.

>> WHY SOME CHICAGO RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE DEMANDING MORE TIME BEFORE REQUIRING VACCINE PROOF FROM CUSTOMERS.

>> THE LATEST ON COVID CASES IN THE COUNTY JAIL AND JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER.

>> THE EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHS OF VIVIAN MAIER.

A BIOGRAPHY REVEALS NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE NORTH SHORE NANNY TURNED PHOTOGRAPHER.

>> I'M ANGEL IDOWU.

COMING UP TONIGHT I WILL TAKE YOU TO A FRAME SHOP THAT IT MAKING FRAMING ARM FER ART AN ART FORM WITHIN ITSELF.

>> DOME FATES THE LANDSCAPE.

-- DOMINATES THE LANDSCAPE.

>> AND GEOFFREY BAER EXPLORES HOW THE WRIGLEY BUILDING TRANSFORMED MICHIGAN AVENUE IN "ASK GEOFFREY".

>> BUT FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES... >> ALMOST EVERY U.S. STATE AND THREE TERRITORIES ARE BACK ON THE CITY'S TRAVEL ADVISORY LIST.

WITH TWO STATES BEING ADDED THIS WEEK, LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA AS WELL AS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

THIS MEANS UNVACCINATED TRAVELERS ARE URGED TO TEST FOR COVID BEFORE AND AFTER ARRIVAL TO CHICAGO ON THE LIST AND QUARANTINE UPON ARRIVAL.

THE CITY SAYS ITS DAILY CASE RATE IS 140.3 CASES PER 100,000 PEOPLE.

THAT IS MORE THAN 500% INCREASE FROM THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN THE CASE RATE WAS 23.2.

THE CITY'S TEST POSITIVITY RATE IS NOW 15.4%.

THAT IS UP FROM 7.4% JUST SEVEN DAYS AGO.

>> CHICAGO HAS SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 287 DAYS.

A WINTER-WEATHER ADVISORY ENDED AN HOUR AGO.

AFTER ONE-TWO INCHES OF SNOW FELL OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY FOLLOWED BY THE RAIN SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE SEEING TONIGHT.

TODAY MARKS THE LATEST DAY OF THE MEASURABLE SNOW ON RECORD IN CHICAGO.

2021 NOW AS THE SECOND LONGEST STREAK OF DAYS BETWEEN LAST AND FIRST MEASURABLE SNOWS.

2012 HOLDS THAT RECORD OF 290 DAYS.

>> UP NEXT, HOW CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TRYING TO CONTAIN COVID AFTER THE HOLIDAY BREAK.

STAY WITH US.

>> Announcer: "CHICAGO TONIGHT" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY... >> WINTER BREAK IS NOT OVER YET FOR CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS BUT WITH THE COAST CASES TEACHES AND DISTRICTS AND PARENTS ARE LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK WHEN CLASSES RESUME.

AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US WITH MORE.

AMANDA?

>> ANXIOUS IS THE WORD I HATED IT WHEN SCHOOL GOT BACK IN SESSION.

AS OMICRON BEGAN TO RAPIDLY SPREAD CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS C.E.O.

PEDRO MARTINEZ DOES PLAN TO BRING STUDENTS BACK TO THE CLASSROOM FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING.

HE SAYS WHEN SCHOOLS WENT FULLY REMOTE IT WAS BAD FOR CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND THEIR ACADEMICS.

>> SO I DON'T SEE THAT AS A VIABLE OPTION.

NOW, THE WHOLE ENTIRE COUNTRY SHUTS DOWN THE ENTIRE STATE AND CITY SHUTDOWN I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK.

SHORT OF THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANULAR GOING SCHOOL BY SCHOOL, CLASSROOM BY CLASSROOM AND WE WILL RESPOND BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE'RE SEEING.

BUT THIS IS WHY I'M CLEAR WITH PARENTS I WILL BE CONSERVATIVE.

I AM GOING TO ERR TO THE RISK OF TRANSITIONING MORE CHILDREN TO REMOTE AS WE SEE THE CASES >> NOW, THE KEY TO BRINGING BACK STUDENTS SAFELY HE SAYS IS COVID TESTING.

THE DISTRICT URGING FAMILIES TO GET THEIR CHILDREN TESTED BEFORE CLASS IS BACK IN SESSION AND THAT IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY IF A KID IS UNWELL, SAYS PEDIATRICIAN Dr. JEN.

>> IF YOUR Dr. JENNIFER KUSMA.

>> IF YOUR CHILD IS HAVING THE SICK SYMPTOMS GET THEM TESTED.

WE ARE SEEING KIDS WITH FEVERS, COUGHS, SORE THROATS THOSE COULD BE SYMPTOMS OF HAVING A COVID-19 INFECTION.

IF YOUR CHILD DEVELOPS THOSE SYMPTOMS BEFORE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY WE RECOMMEND THEY GET TESTED.

>> THAT MAY BE EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

RAPID TESTS ARE HARD TO COME BY AND FOR SOME FAMILIES THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE.

FREE TESTS IN DEMAND, TOO, WITH LINES TO GET ONE.

TO GET HELP WITH THAT BEFORE BREAK C.P.S.

SENT 150,000 COVID TESTS HOME WITH STUDENTS AT 300 OF THE SCHOOLS HARDEST HIT BY COVID.

TODAY, THE DEADLINE TO GET THEM IN.

TO LIBRARIES OR TO FEDEX LOCATIONS.

SO THAT THERE IS TIME FOR THEM TO BE PROCESSED BEFORE SCHOOL IS BACK ON MONDAY.

BUT THE CHICAGO TEACHERS' UNION SENT PHOTOS OF OVERFLOWING FEDEX BOXES.

A SIGN THE UNION SAYS THAT THE DISTRICT ISN'T PREPARED.

>> HERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING SICK.

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE IT SAFE ENOUGH IN THE BUILDINGS SO WE CONTINUE TO HAVE IN-PERSON LEARNING, RIGHT?

THAT IS THE GOAL TO HAVE SAFE IN-PERSON LEARNING.

YOU DON'T HAVE THAT THEN IT'S NOT SAFE WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> NOW, NEW YEAR'S IS ANOTHER TIME FOR THERE TO BE GATHERINGS AND A POTENTIAL FOR MORE CORONAVIRUS SPREAD AND THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET SAYS C.T.U.

TREASURER MARIA MORENO.

C.T.U.

WANTS THINGS LIKE MORE AIR MONITORING IN SCHOOLS.

METRICS FOR WHEN SCHOOLS MUST GO REMOTE AND RAPID TESTS ON THAT FIRST DAY THAT SCHOOL IS BACK IN.

>> ALL STUDENTS IN ALL WORKERS IN THE BUILDING.

SO WHEN THEY ARE COMING IN IN THE MORNING THEY SHOULD BE TESTED THAT WILL GIVE US A CLEAR INDICATION OF WHERE IS THE LEVEL OF TRANSMISSION OF COVID IN THE HOMES.

AND I THINK THAT IS A VERY BIG CONCERN BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SCHOOLS BECAUSE THERE'S LITTLE TESTING GOING ON.

>> AND NOW YOU HAVE GUARDIANS NEEDING TO SIGN THEIR CHILDREN UP TO ALLOW THEM TO BE TESTED IN SCHOOLS.

C.T.U.

WANTS THE OPPOSITE.

SO THAT BASICALLY, AUTOMATICALLY BE OPTING IN TO TESTING UNLESS YOU CHOOSE NOT TO.

NOW, THAT IS A NO-BRAINER TO BURR ELEMENTARY PARENT RACHEL WINKELMAN SHE SAYS YES IT IS A NO-BRAINER.

>> THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF FROM C.P.S.

THAT I COULD HAVE MISSED THE OPTIONS TO SIGN MY KIDS UP FOR TESTING.

I DID IT BECAUSE I WAS VERY HYPER SENSITIVE TO COVID STUFF AT THAT TIME.

BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS THAT I'VE MISSED I BET YOU, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SIGNED UP SHOULD MISSED THE DETAIL FROM SIGNING UP AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR KIDS TESTED IN THE SCHOOL.

>> THOUGH IT WOULD BE HARD TO MISS C.P.S.

'S REMINDERS TO TEST STUDENTS AND GET THOSE RAPID KITS BACK IN, SHE SAYS THAT SHE AND OTHER PARENTS FEEL LIKE C.P.S.

IS CALLING SO OFTEN TO GIVE THEM THOSE REMINDERS IT'S BORDERING ON EXCESSIVE.

SHE WANTS HER 7 AND 9-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS TO BE BACK IN CLASS THEY ARE HAPPIER AND WITH OMICRON SHE FEELS THAT THEY ARE SAFE.

>> THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF MASKS AND KIDS SITTING APART AT LUNCH, AND SPENDING MORE TIME OUTSIDE SEEMS TO WORK.

SO I FEEL LIKE MAYBE THE OLD METRICS MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOO CONSERVATIVE WHICH WE KNEW AT THE TIME BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT, WE CAN SAY A LOT OF THESE LAYERS OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LIKE THE VENTILATION SYSTEMS, ENCOURAGING TO GET KIDS VACCINATED AND KIDS TESTED AND WEARING MASKS IT SEEMS TO WORK PRETTY WELL.

>> SHE SAYS WITH THE RISE IN CASES SHE IS CANCELING PLANS AND BEING CAUTIOUS BUT IF THERE IS ONE THING TO NOT CANCEL IT IS SCHOOL.

NOW, C.T.U.

HAS ANOTHER CONCERN ABOUT COMING BACK TO THE CLASSROOM.

AND THAT IS A LACK OF ENOUGH ADULTS TO SUPERVISE STUDENTS.

>> IN JANUARY, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE MEMBERS WHO ARE INFECTED.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE SICK.

MAYBE NOT SEVERELY BECAUSE MOST OF OUR MEMBERS ARE VACCINATED.

AND THE STAFFING LEVELS IN THE BUILDINGS MAY NOT BE SAFE.

>> C.T.U.

IS HAVING A VIRTUAL MEETING THIS EVENING TO DECIDE THE UNION'S NEXT STEP.

MEANWHILE, THE DISTRICT DID NOT SPECIFICALLY RESPOND TO A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THE METRICS MIGHT BE THAT WOULD CAUSE C.P.S.

AND MARTINEZ TO BRING LEARNING VIRTUAL.

BUT IN A STATEMENT C.P.S.

SAYS IT'S EXPECTING WHAT IT DESCRIBED AS HIGHER THAN NORMAL NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS TO HAVE TO CONVERT TO REMOTE LEARNING DUE TO THE OMICRON SURGE.

THE DISTRICT ALSO IN A STATEMENT SAYING THAT BEFORE CLASSES RESUME JANUARY 3, ALL SCHOOLS WILL BE CLEANED AND ALSO THE VENTILATION SYSTEMS CHECKED.

SO ANY REPAIRS CAN BE DONE BEFORE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE BROUGHT BACK.

THE DISTRICT ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO OPT-IN TO THAT IN-SCHOOL TESTING OPTION WHICH IS GOING TO RESTART AS SOON AS SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION.

REGULAR TESTS FOR KIDS STARTING UP, SORRY STUDENTS ALSO THE COVID KIND.

AND ALSO FROM Dr. JENNIFER KUSMA SHE SAYS STUDENTS HAVE HOMEWORK IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY VACCINATED THAT IS A REALLY GOOD WAY THE DOCTOR SAYS TO SPEND SPRING BREAK AND BE PREPARED TO GET BACK IN.

>> EXTRA ANXIETY THIS YEAR ABOUT GOING BACK FOR WINTER BREAK.

THANK YOU.

>> AND THE SURGING OMICRON VARIANT HAS NOT PUT MUCH OF A DAMPER ON THE ROARING ECONOMY AND THE STOCK MARKETS.

ANALYSTS EXPECT THE U.S. ECONOMY TO HAVE GROWN AT MORE THAN 5% IN 2021.

MEANWHILE, STOCK MARKETS HAVE DELIVERED ROBUST PERFORMANCE AS THE ECONOMY REBOUNDED FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE PANDEMIC RECESSION.

DOW JONES IS UP 24% AND THE S&P 500 30% AND THE TECH NASDQ MORE THAN 24%.

BUT INFLATION HAS RISEN TO THE THEHIGHEST LEVELS IN DECADES.

JOINING US ARE MICHAEL MILLER FROM DePAUL UNIVERSITY.

MICHAEL STRITCH CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER AT BMO WEALTH MANAGE MANY AND PRESTON CALDWELL ANALYST AT MORNINGSTARET WITY RESEARCH.

WE MENTIONED THE MIXED SIGNALS AT THE TOP.

MIKE MILLER WILL ALL OF THE FACTOR CONTINUE DEEP INTO 2022?

>> THAT IS ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS.

WE ARE ROUGHLY AT FULL EMPLOYMENT WHICH IS GREAT AND WE'RE CREATING JOBS AT A RATE WHICH WILL KEEP THAT FULL EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL OF NEXT YEAR AS FAR AS IT APPEARS.

GDP IS ABOVE POTENTIAL SO THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR BUT THE ONE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS INFLATION AND THE ISSUE THERE IS EXACTLY HOW THE FED WILL RESPOND IN TERMS OF HOW QUICKLY AND HOW FORCEFULLY.

AND WHAT THEY USE JUST CHANGES IN THE PORTFOLIO OR USE CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES.

>> LET'S STICK WITH THAT ISSUE OF INSURANCE FLAKES.

PRESTON CALDWELL HOW DO YOU THINK THE FED WILL RESPOND IN 2022?

>> WELL, I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT THE FED IS GOING TO PROCEED WITH A COURSE CORRECTION EARLIER THEY WERE SAYING THAT THE INFLATION WAS TRANSITORY WHICH MEANT THAT THEY DID NOT NEED TO HIKE RATES.

I DO THINK THAT INFLATION IS STILL TO A GREAT DEGREE TRANSITORY BUT AS MIKE MENTIONED THERE ARE STRUCTURAL FACTORS INDICATING THAT THE ECONOMY IS STARTING TO TIGHTEN, RUN AGAINST CAPACITY A BIT AND THAT AGOERS FOR A RATE HIKE IN SEVERAL RATE HIKES IN 2022 AND 2023 EVEN WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES THAT ARE CAUSING MUCH OF THE INFLATION TODAY.

>> ACTION TO PLEA VENT AGAINST AN OVERHEATED ECONOMY.

MICHAEL STRITCH, THE OTHER X FACTOR IS THE OMICRON VARIANT.

RECORD SETTING CASE NUMBERS.

COULD THAT PUT A DAMPER ON THE ROARING ECONOMY?

>> YEAH, I THINK AT THE MARGIN AT A MINIMUM.

WHAT WE LIKE TO LOOK FOR THERE IS NOT NECESSARILY CASE NUMBERS BUT SPECIFICALLY REALTIME CATERINGS AS TO THE BEHAVIOR OF CITIZENS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

AND TO DATE WE HAVE SEEN SUBTLE DEKLINES LIKE RESERVATIONS AT RESTAURANTS, WE HAVE A LOT OF SURVEY DATA ON TRAFFIC INTO RETAIL CENTERS AND STOREFRONTS.

THOSE MAINTAIN ROBUST LEVELS.

BUT WE HAVE SOME SLIPPAGE AT THE MARGINS.

WE HAVE TO SEE HOW THE NEXT FEW WEEKS PLAY OUT.

I THINK PROBABLY WILL [INAUDIBLE] Q1 AT A MINIMUM BUT WE DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A BIG HEADWIND FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2022.

>> AND MIKE MILLER THE MARKETS ARE PERFORMING EXCEPTION ALI WELL.

THE DOW UP 30% -- 20%.

S&P 30% AND NASDAQ 22%.

IS THIS A CASE OF THE RECOVERY DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTING THE WEALTHER?

OR ARE WE SEEING THE SAME GROWTH IN WAGES AMONG THE LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASSES?

>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE EYES OF WEALTH, YOUR LIABILITIES THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP ARE DOING BETTER BECAUSE THEY INVEST IN MORRISKY INVESTMENTS AND GET A HIGHER RATE OF RETURN.

WHEN YOU LOOK THE AINCOME, NO DOUBT PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM HAVE BEEN MORE MARKET POWER IN THE LABOR MARKET THAN THEY HAVE IN THE PAST 25 OR 30 YEARS WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE I WILL NOT COMING TO WORK FOR YOU UNLESS YOU PAY ME SOMETHING THAT IS DECENT.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE SEE THE WAGES AT THE BOTTOM BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WE HAD THE LARGEST INCREASES IN WAGES FOR THE BOTTOM THAN WE HAD SEEN AND WE'RE SEEING THAT COMING BACK.

AND THAT IS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY.

AND MY MIND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE INFLATIONARY BECAUSE THE PRODUCTIVITY JUSTIFIES THE HIGHER WAGE.

THE WAGES HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH PRODUCTIVITY OVER TIME.

SO WHEN THEY GET THEIR CUT OF THE PIE, THIS IS A GOOD THING.

IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

>> PRESTON CALDWELL HOW MUCH OF THIS IS DRIVEN BY THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT INTO THE ECONOMY, THE JUST PASSED INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, THE COVID RELIEF EFFORTS, AND COULD THINGS TAPER OFF A BIT WITHOUT THAT KIND OF FEDERAL INVESTMENT?

>> YES, I THINK WE WILL SEE A CONTINUATION OF THE TRENDS WE SEE TERMS IN THE HIGH RATE OF TURNOVER IN THE LABOR MARKET AND YOU KNOW, THE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATE STILL BEING BELOW PREPANDEMIC LEVELS.

IT CERTAINLY TRUE THAT WE HAD THE LARGEST FISCAL RESPONSE IN U.S.

PEACETIME HISTORY DURING THE PANDEMIC WHICH YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE GOING TO ERR ON ANY SIDE YOU WANT TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF OVERDOING IT.

I THINK IT WAS OVERALL A GOOD THING CONSIDERING ALL THE RISKS THAT WERE INVOLVED DURING THE PANDEMIC.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A REPEAT OF EVEN THE GREAT RECESSION MUCH LESS A GREAT DEPRESSION SIZED EVENT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A MUCH QUICKER ECONOMIC RECOVERY THIS TIME AROUND.

AND, YES, I THINK AS THE EFFECTS OF PERHAPS THE STIMULUS CHECKS AND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS WEAR OFF WE WILL SEE A NORMALIZATION OF PERHAPS SOME OF THE AREAS WHICH ARE WORST OVERHEATING RIGHT NOW.

>> MICHAEL STRITCH, CHICAGO HAS SEEN SOME OF THAT FEDERAL LARGES ITS GROWTH IS LAGGING A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

DO YOU EXPECT THAT TO BE THE CASE IN 2022?

>> I THINK SO.

IF YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS IT'S BEEN TRUE TO FORM IN MOST INSTANCES THAT CHICAGO LAGGED JUST BEHIND THE NATIONAL LEVELS OF GROWTH.

AND THAT'S LIKELY TO PERSIST INTO 2022 IN FOR ONE PRIMARY REASON BACK TO THE COVID SITUATION IS AND IMPACT ON HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE AND CONVENTIONS CENTERS IN PARTICULAR WHICH CHICAGO IS ONE OF THE LEADING CONVENTION DESTINATIONS IN THE COUNTRY.

THAT HASN'T COME BACK REALLY TO ANY SIGNIFICANT MEANS.

SO FAR AND IT'S LOOKING PRETTY TOUGH GOING TO THAT AREA INTO 2022 AS WELL.

SO IF I THINK ABOUT THE OVERALL PICTURE FOR THE U.S. IS AGAIN AS MIKE SAID ABOVE TREND GROWTH FOR 22 I THINK CHICAGO COMES IN JUST BELOW THAT IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY AND CONVENTION EXPOSURE WE HAVE RELATIVE TO OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.

>> MICHAEL MILLER WE REFERRED TO THE SO-CALLED GREAT RESIGNATION PEOPLE QUITTING, EMPLOYERS NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL THEIR JOBS.

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON?

AND DO YOU THINK THE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE IN 2022?

>> I THINK WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE BETWEEN THE EMPLOYER AND THE EMPLOYEE.

AND WE HAVE THE BABY BOOM WHICH I AM A MEMBER THAT ARE BEGINNING TO RETIRE.

THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH OR WITHOUT THE PANDEMIC.

WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHANGE IN THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE OF THE LABOR FORCE.

SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE JUST LIKE WORKING REMOTELY HAS BECOME MUCH MORE COMMON, I THINK THIS NEGOTIATING BETWEEN WORKERS AND BUSINESSES WILL CONTINUE.

AND WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS IN THE PAST.

THERE WILL NOT BE THE EMPLOYMENT IN OFFICE BUILDINGS WITH SMALL RESTAURANTS AND STORES BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL BE WORKING FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

AND SO WITH THE LABOR MARKET GOING FORWARD I THINK IT'S VIBRANT AND EXCITING TO BE WATCHING THIS FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN LABOR RELATIONS BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES.

>> PRESTON CALDWELL HOW IS THIS GOING TO IRON OUT?

WILL THE SKILLS MATCH THE JOBS AVAILABLE?

WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING?

>> A FEW POINTS.

YOU KNOW I THINK THE GREAT RESIGNATION TERM IS A MISNOMER.

WE ARE SEEING A GREAT RESHUFFLING THAT IS MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE QUITTING RIGHT NOW ARE HOPPING TO ANOTHER JOB THEY ARE NOT LEAVING THE WORKFORCE ENTIRELY.

SO THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO ANOTHER JOB, TO GET A RAISE MOST LIKELY IS CONTRIBUTING TO A LOT OF THE TIGHTNESS IN THE LABOR MARKET AND THE WAGE PRESSURES WE'RE SEEING.

ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY FOR ALL THE TALK OF WAGE PRESSURES, AS MIKE ELUDED TO MOST OF THE WAGE PRESSURE IS ON THE BOTTOM END OF THE SPECTRUM THE LABOR MARKET ESPECIALLY LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY AS THEY REOPEN.

IN TERMS OF BROAD REAL WAGE INCREASES THEY HAVE BEEN FAIRLY MUTED OVER THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD OVERSTATE THAT ISSUE TOO MUCH.

>> SORRY WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE A LOT TO WATCH FOR IN 2022 WE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR EXPERTISE.

THANKS TO MICHAEL STRITCH, PRESTON CALDWELL AND MICHAEL MILLER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> MY PLEASURE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> NOW, TO BRANDIS AND HOW LOCAL RESTAURANTS ARE RESPONDING TO THE CITY'S VACCINE PROOF REQUIREMENT.

>> PARIS, THANK YOU.

SOME RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE CALLING FOR MORE TIME BEFORE THE CITY'S PROOF OF VACCINE REQUIREMENT TAKES EFFECT AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS, BARS, GYMS AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES.

IT GOES INTO EFFECT ON MONDAY.

BUT A COALITION OF 30 RESTAURANTS IS SAYING THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH TIME TO ADJUST OPERATIONS AMID THE HOLIDAYS.

MEMBERS OF THE COALITION JOIN US WITH MORE.

LEN DEFRANCO, MANAGER AND ADVISER AT HAWKEYES BAR AND GRILL IN THE LITTLE ITALY DISTRICT.

KIM DI POFI, DAUGHTER OF THE OWNER OF POMPEII, A FAMILY OWNED ITALIAN RESTAURANT LOCATED ON THE CITY'S NEAR WEST SIDE.

AND ROGER ROMANELLI, COORDINATOR OF THE CHICAGO RESTAURANTS COALITION AND HEAD OF THE FULTON MARKET ASSOCIATION.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

ROGER ROMANELLI LET'S START WITH YOU PLEASE, AS THE COORDINATOR OF THIS RESTAURANT COALITION, WHAT PUSHED YOU TO ORGANIZE THIS MOVEMENT AND CALL ON THE CITY TO POSTPONE THIS REQUIREMENT TAKING EFFECT?

>> WELL, THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

WHEN OUR COALITION HEARD MAYOR LIGHTFOOT'S ANNOUNCEMENT ON DECEMBER 21 WE TOOK NOTE AND WE FELT THAT A JANUARY 3 START DATE WAS FAST.

SO WE TOOK A LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID IN BOSTON AND WASHINGTON D.C. AND NEW YORK CITY, BOSTON GAVE THE RESTAURANTS 25 DAYS.

WASHINGTON D.C., 25, NEW YORK 40 DAYS.

AND CHICAGO IT'S 13 DAYS AND DURING THE HOLIDAYS WHEN RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE BUSY AND SWAMPED AND PLANNING TO SPEND TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

LOOK, THERE IS A LOT OF DETAILS INVOLVED WITH CHECKING VACCINE PAPERS AND HAVING RESTAURANTS READY TO GO.

WE WANT TO HELP THE CITY BE SAFE.

RESTAURANTS WANT SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES.

13 DAYS RIGHT AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, I'M SORRY IT'S NOT FAIR.

>> KIM DI POFI, WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN CONCERNS WITH THIS REQUIREMENT?

>> JUST THE FLOW AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO TO OUR CUSTOMERS EVEN WALKING IN THE DOOR.

SO WE NEED MORE TIME TO GET THE REST OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT MAYBE ARE NOT VACCINATED, VACCINATED.

GIVE THE CUSTOMERS MORE TIME TO GET VACCINATED.

BUT THE FLOW IS OUR BIGGEST CONCERN BECAUSE WE ARE A FAST CASUAL RESTAURANT.

WHERE ARE WE STOPPING THE CUSTOMER?

ARE WE CATCHING THEM OUTSIDE?

WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO STAND OUTSIDE WAITING TO COME INTO THE RESTAURANT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.

IF WE ARE BRINGING THEM IN AND TURNING THEM AWAY HOW DOES THAT MAKE US LOOK?

AND WHAT IS THE EFFECT GOING TO HAVE ON OUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

>> LEN DEFRANCO WHAT ABOUT YOU IS THIS JUST ABOUT NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE OR MORE THAN THAT FOR YOU?

>> WELL, IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

BUT CERTAINLY THE TIME ELEMENT IS HUGE.

I MEAN WE HAVE AS MOST RESTAURANTS DO, VARIOUS CORPORATE PARTIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

THEY WANT TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS EVE OR THEY WANTED TO SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE WITH US OR NEW YEAR'S DAY.

SO WE'RE USING OUR STAFF TO FULFILL CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES.

THE TIME, OF COURSE, IS NEEDED TO COMPLY WITH THE RESTRICTIONS AND THE COVENANTS IN THE CITY'S WEBSITE ON THEIR WEBSITE.

FOR INSTANCE YOU NEED A SAFETY COORDINATOR.

OK.

I GUESS THAT SOMEBODY BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF SHIFTS WHEN YOU COME TO RUNNING A RESTAURANT OR ANY TYPE OF HOSPITALITY.

SO THAT MEANS YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE SEVERAL SAFETY COORDINATORS I ASSUME I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THERE'S NO ORGANS THAN THE TWO-PAGE LETTER SENT OUT BY CITY HALL.

YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THERE ARE DURING THE DAY WE'LL HAVE ANYBODY THAT IS NEAR THE FRONT WILL WALK SOMEBODY IN TO THE RESTAURANT TO THE DINING AREA AND SEAT THEM.

THERE'S NOT A HOST ESPER SAY LIKE KIM'S ESTABLISHMENT.

SO THEY ARE IN THEY ARE SITTING DOWN, NOW I SUPPOSE WE HAVE TO GO OVER THERE IF THEY GRAB A SEAT AND ASK FOR THE VACCINATION CARD.

THEN WE HAVE TO KEEP RECORDS OF ALL OF THIS.

>> SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF STEPS THAT EACH OF YOU WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

ROGER IF RESTAURANTS HAD BEEN GIVEN MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THIS, DO YOU THINK A VACCINE REQUIREMENT LIKE THIS OR A PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIREMENT LIKE THIS COULD IMPROVE THE COVID SURGE?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

I PERSONALLY LISTEN TO WHAT THE RESTAURANTS WANTED TO DO HERE AND THE RESTAURANTS WANTED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER BUT THEY WANTED MORE TIME.

IN TERMS OF DEALING WITH THE COVID SURGE, WE REALLY NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK.

AND LIKE I SAY SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN THE RESTAURANTS HAVE BEEN DOING WONDERFUL WORK TO KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE.

I WOULD SAY TO YOU THAT IF THE MAYOR'S INTENT IS TO GET MORE PEOPLE VACCINATED AND FOR US TO DEFEAT THE VIRUS, THEN IF IT'S GOOD FOR RESTAURANTS TO CHECK VACCINATION PAPERS, ANYONE THAT WALKS INTO CITY HALL OR ANY GOVERNMENT BUILDING IN CHICAGO THEY SHOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO SHOW THEIR VAX PAPERS AND ID'S.

WE NEED AN ALL HANDS ON DECK AND WE CANNOT, CANNOT PORTRAY RESTAURANTS AS DANGEROUS SPOTS.

>> WHAT RESPONSE HAVE YOU RECEIVED FROM THE CITY ABOUT YOUR REQUEST FOR MORE TIME?

>> WELL, I WILL SAY UNFORTUNATELY THE MAYOR AND HER STAFF YESTERDAY DISMISS TO DO OUT RIGHT AND SAYING JANUARY 3 AND UNFORTUNATELY SAY SAID SOMETHING LIKE WE'RE HOLDING SEMINARS THEY HAD ONE SEMINAR ON THE 22 AND ONE ON DECEMBER 29.

TOMORROW AND ANOTHER ON JANUARY 4.

ALL OF THIS IS ON THE FLY.

AND IT'S SIMPLY A MATTER OF WE KNOW THAT THE MAYOR AND THE CITY STAFF WANT TO GET A HANDLE AND DEFEAT THE COVID VIRUS.

WE ALL DO.

BUT RESTAURANTS ARE NOT DEPARTMENTS OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT.

ALL BUSINESSES DESERVE REALLY THEY DESERVE LIKE IN BOSTON AND WASHINGTON D.C. AND NEW YORK, THEY DESERVE 25 DAYS TO IMPLEMENT THESE SERIOUS REQUESTS.

SO THE MAYOR'S STAFF SAID NO, WE'RE GOING AHEAD WITH JANUARY 3 AND THE FINES COULD BE UP TO $500 A DAY.

>> AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO THAT.

KIM WHAT RESPONSE ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM CUSTOMERS WHEN THIS GOES INTO EFFECT NEXT WEEK?

>> THE INITIAL RESPONSE WE HEARD LAST WEEK IS [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN IT WAS EXPANDED TO THE ENTIRE COOK COUNTY.

THAT HELPED A LITTLE BIT.

I HOPE WE DON'T LOSE THE CUSTOMERS WE ARE FINALLY GETTING BACK INTO THE RESTAURANT THIS PAST YEAR.

>> LEN, WHAT ABOUT YOU, WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU EXPECT FOR YOUR RESTAURANT WHEN YOU MAY BE ENCOUNTERING A CUSTOMER WHO DOES NOT WANT TO COMPLY?

>> HERE IS MY BIGGER CONCERN.

A SINGLE CUSTOMER OR A COUPLE WE CAN PROBABLY HANDLE.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU HAVE GROUPS COMING IN.

WE'RE NEAR THE UNIVERSITY.

AND YOU WILL HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE COMING IN GROUPS.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT YOU HAVE TO CHECK THEM ALL WHICH IS WHAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO.

SUPPOSE ONE IS NOT VACCINATED?

DO WE LOSE ALL OF THEM.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF IRATE CUSTOMERS AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE COME FROM OUT OF TOWN AND THEY DON'T KNOW THE RULES.

IT'S GOING TO BE A MESS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A MESS.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

>> COMPLICATED WE WILL WISH EACH OF YOU THE BEST OF LUCK NEXT WEEK.

THANKS TO LEN DEFRANCO, KIM DI POFI AND ROGER ROMANELLI FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND PARIS BACK TO YOU.

>> THANKS, BRANDIS.

MUCH MORE AHEAD ON THE PROGRAM INCLUDING A SPIKE IN COVID CASES AT COOK COUNTY DETENTION FACILITIES.

BUT FIRST, FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS A FAMILY BUSINESS HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO PRESERVING CHICAGO'S ART SCENE THROUGH ENGRAVING PIECES OR FRAMING THEB THEM.

NOW TAKING A TURN IN A CUSTOM FRAMING PROCESS.

ANGEL IDOWU TAKES US TO FRAME CHICAGO AND HOW THEY ARE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE AND HOW COLLECTORS PRESERVE THEIR ART.

>> WHEN THE FAMILY EMIGRATED FROM EAST AFRICA AS REFUGEES IN 1972 THEY STARTED A BUSINESS THAT ENHANCED THEIR SKILL SETS.

>> WE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE YOU KNOW.

WE CAME WITH NOTHING.

>> AND THEN AS A CHEMIST I FORMULATED INKS AND COATINGS AND COLORS SO THE COLOR WAS PASSIONATE TO ME DEVELOPING THE COLORS AND FORMULATING THE INKS.

SO IT WAS INITIALLY FOR ME TO WORK WITH THE COLORS.

>> THEY STARTED ENGRAVING BEFORE MOVING ON TO FRAMING PIECES.

NOW 40 YEARS LATER SON AND DAUGHTER ARE HELPING EXPAND THE FAMILY BUSINESS FURTHER.

>> WHEN YOU ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SOMETHING IT COMES NATURALLY.

WHEN I SEE THIS ART I FEEL SO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO WORK WITH IT THAT THE DESIGN COMES TO ME NATURALLY IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WORK.

>> THE FRAME IS A LITTLE BIT SMALL >> THE ENGRAVING DOESN'T [INAUDIBLE] AND THE LATE 90s EARLY 2000'S WE MOVED OUR OPERATIONS TO LINCOLN PARK AND THAT IS WHERE WE FOUND A NEW COMMUNITY OF ART COLLECTORS.

THE FRAME PRESERVES YOUR PIECE.

THE FRAME ENSURES THAT NO LIGHT HITS YOUR PIECE AND IT RETAINS THE VALUE.

SO THERE IS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANCE TO FRAMING.

>> WHAT MAKES FRAME CHICAGO SPECIAL?

THE WALLS THEY BUILD WITHIN THEIR FRAMES TO ENHANCE THE ARTIST'S CREATIONS.

>> EVERY TIME A NEW PIECE COMES IN WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE WHAT CAN WE DO DIFFERENT HOW CAN WE ENHANCE THE PIECE WHERE SPRAY PAINT COMES IN, PAINTING THE FRAME AND THE MATT, FLOATING, PUTTING DOUBLE OR TRIPLE FRAMES.

>> THEY HAVE A SMALL TEAM OF ARTISTS AND FRAMERS THAT HELP BRING THE IDEAS TO LIFE.

>> WE HAVE OUR FAME BUILT AND WE HAVE OUR ART.

>> SOME MIGHT ARGUE THE WORK THE FAMILY DOES OVERSTEPS THE ARTIST'S INITIAL CREATION BUT ONE ARTIST THAT WORKS WITH THEM SAYS WHILE THEIR STYLE MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVERYONE IT IS FOR HIM.

>> PEOPLE DON'T YOU HAD THE IMPORTANCE OF ART IN FRAMING.

THERE IS A MATRIMONY BETWEEN THE ART AND WHAT IT'S ENCASED IN.

A LOT OF PEOPLE UNDER VALUE AND TRY TO GO WITH SOMETHING CHEAP FOR THEIR FRAME.

TAKING A STEP FURTHER AND UNDERSTANDING THAT FRAMING IS ART AND THOSE THAT PUSH AND EXPLORE AND EXPERIMENT IS WHAT ARTISTS DO.

IT IS AN ARTISTRY TO IT.

I LOVE IT.

I DON'T LOVE EVERY SINGLE FRAMING DONE BY ANYBODY.

>> FRAME CHICAGO EVOLVES INTO A BRAND THAT SHOWCASES LOCAL ARTISTS.

THE CORE OF THEIR BUSINESS WILL ALWAYS BE ROOTED IN THE ART OF FRAMING.

>> WHEN YOU PUT IT ON YOUR WALL, IT'S THE PIECE AND IT'S THE FRAME THAT ENHANCE IT TO BRING IT OUT.

SO WE'RE CREATING A ELECTOR'S ITEM ON TOP OF A COLLECTOR'S ITEM.

FRAME CHICAGO SAID WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT FRAME A ONE OF ONE.

>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" I'M ANGEL IDOWU.

>> AND WHETHER ARE YOU A LONGTIME COLLECTOR OR FIRST TIME-FRAME CHICAGO SAYS THEY ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING ART MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.

VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THEIR FRAMING PROCESS.

>> AND STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THE LATEST ON THE STATE OF COVID-19 IN THE COUNTY'S JAIL AND JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER.

EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHY FROM A NORTH SHORE NANNY A NEW BIOGRAPHY OFFERS FRESH DETAILS ABOUT THE LIFE OF VIVIAN MAIER.

>> AND 100 YEARS OF THE WRIGLEY BUILDING.

GEOFFREY BAER EXPLORES HOW THE ICONIC STRUCTURE USHERED IN THE MAG MILE WE KNOW TODAY.

FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES... >> CHICAGO WILL NOT SET THE RECORD FOR LONGEST SNOW DROUGHT.

THE CITY HOWEVER DID SET A RECORD FOR LATEST FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON.

MOST OF THE CITY SAW LESS THAN A INCH OF WET SNOW BEFORE IT TURNED TO RAIN AND PARTS OF THE REGION SAW BETWEEN 1-2 INCHES OF ALL OF COOK COUNTY SPENT MUCH OF THE DAY UNDER A WINTER-WEATHER ADVISORY AS TODAY'S EVENT ENDS A 287 DAY SPELL WITHOUT SNOW.

THE RECORD WAS SET IN 2012 AT 290 DAYS.

>> ANOTHER HUGE DAY OF COVID CASES.

STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORT MORE THAN 20800 CASES.

BRINGING THE SEVEN-DAY AVERAGE OF NEW DAILY CASES ABOVE 16,000.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC.

THE STATE REPORTS 96 NEW DEATHS.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER SINCE FEBRUARY.

THE STATE-WIDE TEST POSITIVITY RATE IS AT 12.4%.

AND THE SITUATION IS SIMILAR THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE COUNTRY.

TODAY THE CITY ANNOUNCED THREE NEW STATES AND TERRITORIES WERE ADDED TO THE COVID TRAVEL ADVISORY.

THEY ARE LOUISIANA, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THAT LEAVES MONTANA AND GUAM AS THE ONLY STATES AND TERRITORIES CURRENTLY NOT ON THAT ADVISORY.

>> AND NOW BRANDIS BACK TO YOU WITH THE STORY OF COVID IN THE COOK COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM.

>> THANK YOU.

>> SO TODAY, CHIEF JUDGE TIMOTHY EVANS ANNOUNCED HIS OFFICE IS 2600 EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE TO BE VACCINATED TO RETURN TO WORK WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS.

THAT INCLUDES JUDGES AND WORKERS AT THE COOK COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER.

THIS AFTER THE CHIEF JUDGE WAS CRITICIZED FOR PREVIOUSLY NOT MANDATING THE VACCINE FOR EMPLOYEES.

THE MOVE COMES AS THE COUNTY HAS SEEN A SPIKE IN CASES INCLUDING AMONG COOK COUNTY JAIL DETAINEES WITH THE MOST RECORDED CASES RECORDED AT THE JAIL SINCE DECEMBER 2020 BEFORE VACCINES WERE AVAILABLE.

HERE TO TALK ABOUT THIS IS AMANDA KLONSKY RESEARCH AND FELLOW AT THE UCLA LAW COVID BEHIND BARS PROJECT.

WE SHOULD SAY WE DID INVITE TIMOTHY EVANS TO JOIN US HE WAS UNAVAILABLE BUT HIS OFFICE DID PROVIDE A STATEMENT.

AMANDA THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THAT STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUDGE EVANS SAYS QUOTE... >> AMANDA WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS CHANGE?

>> THIS IS WELCOME NEWS.

IT'S BEEN A GRIM AND SCARY HOLIDAY IN THE COOK COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER WHERE COVID NUMBERS ARE ON THE RISE.

SIX DETAINED CHILDREN AND SEVEN STAFF WITH A DEGREING NUMBER OF COURT AND PROBATION STAFF INCLUDING TWO JUDGES AND 37 EMPLOYEES HAVE NOW TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID.

BUT AS YOU MENTIONED THERE WAS GOOD NEWS TONIGHT JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER A WBEZ STORY ON THE LACK OF A COVID VACCINE MANDATE, CHIEF JUDGE EVANS ANNOUNCED THEY MUST GET THE FIRST DOSE OF THE COVID VACCINE WITHIN 21 DAYS.

OF COURSE IT'S BEEN EIGHT MONTHS SINCE THEY COULD BECOME VACCINATED.

>> UNVACCINATED EMPLOYEES THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE MANDATE WITHIN 21 DAYS.

OMICRON IS SURGING RIGHT NOW.

ARE YOU STILL CONCERNED ABOUT A BIG SPIKE IN CASES?

>> OF COURSE, OF COURSE, OF COURSE WE ARE.

THIS SURGE COULD HAVE BEEN AND WAS CORRECTLY ANTICIPATED BY PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS.

WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE SEEING A MAJOR SURGE IN THE COOK COUNTY JAIL, IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.

AND ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

SO IT'S BAFFLING TO ME THERE WAS NO MANDATE UNTIL TONIGHT.

AND OF COURSE, THAT WE'RE POSTPONING THE MANDATE FOR 21 DAYS PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THEIR FIRST DOSE WITHIN THE NEXT 21 DAYS.

BUT STILL THIS IS MAJOR PROGRESS.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD AND IT WILL PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND WE HOPE WILL SAVE LIVES.

DON'T FORGET THE MAIN THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF PEOPLE WHO WORK IN JAILS PRISONS AND DETENTION CENTERS AT THIS TIME IS COVID.

SO THIS STEP IS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THESE INSTITUTIONS AS WELL AS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE DETAINED THERE.

>> AS YOU MENTIONED THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER HAS HAD SEVEN RESIDENTS TEST POSITIVE AND FIVE EMPLOYEES SINCE YESTERDAY.

GIVE US A SENSE OF THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EFFECT FOR COVID FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER?

>> SO THIS FAILURE TO GET THE STAFF OF THE DETENTION CENTER VACCINATED HAS REAL IMPLICATION FOR DETAINED YOUTH.

IMAGINE HOW SCARY IT IS TO BE A 12 OR 13-YEAR-OLD CHILD TO BE IN JAIL DURING THE HOLIDAYS, SLEEPING ON A MATTRESS WITH NO SHEET OR PILLOW AWAY FROM YOUR PARENTS OFTEN GETTING NO VISITORS AND NOW YOU ARE TERRIFIED OF GETTING SICK ALL BY YOURSELF.

MANY OF ABOUT THE 157 YOUTH IN DETENTION TONIGHT ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO GO.

WEAR AWAITING PLACEMENT IN A SHELTER OR FOSTER PLACEMENT AND PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE DETENTION CENTER ARE CHARGED WITH PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY AND CARING FOR COOK COUNTY'S MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN.

AND INSTEAD THOSE WHO HAVE REFUSED TO GET THE VACCINE ARE NOW ENDANGERING ALL OF US.

DON'T FORGET, PEOPLE COME AND GO FROM THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER EVERYDAY.

WE STAFF CARRY THE VIRUS INTO THE CENTER WHERE IT SPREADS AND THEN THEY BRING IT BACK HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.

OFTEN CHICAGO'S COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ALREADY HARDEST HIT BY THE PANDEMIC.

>> AND WE KNOW THE COUNTY JAIL IS SEEING A SPIKE AS WELL WITH 307 DETAINEES TESTING POSITIVE AND 207 STAFF MEMBERS TESTING POSITIVE.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS 63% OF THOSE POSITIVE DETAINEES TESTED POSITIVE AT ADMISSION INDICATING THEY CONTRACTED IT IN THE COMMUNITY BEFORE BEING ADMITTED TO THE JAIL.

IN A STATEMENT WE KNOW THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS QUOTE... WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO HOW THE JAIL HAS HANDLED THE COVID PANDEMIC?

>> LOOK WITH THE RAPID SPREAD OF OMICRON VARIANT JAILS ARE THE SITES OF MAJOR OUTBREAKS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

WE KNOW THAT JAILS IN ILLINOIS AND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ARE OVERCROWDED, THEY ARE UNSANITARY, THEY ARE POORLY VENTILATED YOU HAVE PEOPLE DOUBLE BUNKED IN 6 BY 6 FOOT CELLS WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SHARING A BATHROOM AND IN THOSE CROWDED CONDITIONS SOCIAL DISTANCING IS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE.

THOSE CONDITIONS ARE INHUMANE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE CREATED TAXPAYER FUNDED INCUBATORS INTENSIFYING THE SPREAD OF COVID IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE BEING DONE.

THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT.

AMANDA KLONSKY THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> AND UP NEXT, A LOOK AT THE ELUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHER VIVIAN MAIER.

STAY WITH US.

>> THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A AIR OF MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE LIFE OF VIVIAN MAIER.

MAIER WAS A NORTH SHORE NANNY WHO QUIETLY PURSUED SHE TOOK EXTRAORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHS.

HER BODY OF WORK 140,000 IMAGES WAS DISCOVERED IN A CHICAGO STORAGE LOCKER IN 2007.

AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE NOT ATTRIBUTED TO HER UNTIL SHE DIED TWO YEARS LATER.

JAY SHEFSKY FIRST REPORTED ON THE PHENOM BEFORE HER LIFE BECAME THE SUBJECT OF A 2014 DOCUMENTARY.

NOW A NEW BIOGRAPHY AIMS TO ANSWER SOME OF THE MANY QUESTIONS THAT STILL SURROUND VIVIAN MAIER.

IT'S CALLED "VIVIAN MAIER DEVELOPED", THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER NANNY.

AND JOINING US IS AUTHOR ANN MARKS.

ANN MARKS WELCOME TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

I'M TOLD YOU WORKED ON THIS PROJECT FOR FIVE YEARS.

THERE WAS A LOT TO UNCOVER.

REMIND OUR VIEWERS WHY HER WORK IS SO PRAISED BY PHOTOGRAPHERS?

>> WELL, I THINK THERE'S TWO ASPECTS TO IT.

CERTAINLY HER MASTERY OF THE ART.

I THINK THE MARY ELLEN MARK THE FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER SAID IT BEST SHE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF ENVIRONMENT AND LIGHT AND SHE HAD A GREAT EYE.

SHE COVERED TRAGEDY.

SHE COVERED HUMOR.

SHE COVERED IRONY AND HAD IT ALL.

>> AND DESPITE, SHE IS KNOWN AT LEAST TO US AS AN INTENSELY PRIVATE PERSON NOT MUCH WAS KNOWN ABOUT HER BACKGROUND.

WHAT DID YOUR RESEARCH UNCOVER?

>> IT UNCOVERED A LOT OF THINGS.

THE BIG THING THAT WE MISSING WAS HER ENTIRE CHILDHOOD.

SHE HAD -- WHEN SHE WAS IN CHICAGO SHE REALLY DIVORCED HERSELF FROM THAT AND HID IT SO NO ONE KNEW HER REAL BACKGROUND EVEN THE FAMILY WHO KNEW HER UNTIL SHE DIED.

THOUGHT SHE HAD BEEN BORN IN FRANCE AND WE KNOW SHE WAS BORN IN NEW YORK.

>> BORN IN NEW YORK.

SHE SPENT TIME IN FRANCE AND CAME BACK TO NEW YORK.

AND THE COMMON KNOWLEDGE WAS SHE NEVER PURSUED PHOTOGRAPHY AS A VOCATION BUT YOUR RESEARCH YOU FOUND SHE WAS AMBITIOUS IN HER EARLY YEARS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY.

EXPLAIN THAT?

>> WELL, IN NEW YORK SHE TRIED TO BE A COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER.

AND UP UNTIL I DID MY RESEARCH NO ONE HAD FOUND ANYBODY THAT KNEW HER IN NEW YORK.

SO THAT HADN'T BEEN UNCOVERED.

BUT SHE STARTED PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH THE PRISM OF COMMERCIAL EFFORT WHEN SHE WAS TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS IN FRANCE IN 1950, WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME SHE PICKED UP A CAMERA, SHE WAS TAKING MOST OF HER PHOTOGRAPHS OF LANDSCAPES IN FRANCE TO MAKE POSTCARDS AND THAT WAS HER GOAL AND SHE CONTINUED THAT EVEN WHEN SHE CAME TO NEW YORK.

SO SHE ALWAYS HAD AT LEAST ORIGINALLY A COMMERCIAL MOTIVATION IN MIND.

>> AND BEYOND THE LANDSCAPES SHE WAS KNOWN FOR PORTRAITS OF THE WORKING MAN AND WOMAN ON THE STREET IN NEW YORK AND CHICAGO.

WAS THIS PERHAPS A RESULT OF COMING FROM A BROKEN FAMILY LIFE?

>> IT MAY BE THAT.

BUT SHE NEVER REALLY LOOKED AT HERSELF AS AN UNDERDOG.

SHE WAS SO INTELLIGENT AND SO PROGRESSIVE THAT SHE JUST SAW THE WORLD AS SOMETHING SHE WANTED TO PHOTOGRAPH.

AND IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I'VE SEEN HER ENTIRE ARCHIVE OF 143,000 IMAGES AND IT IS AMAZING EARLY ON HOW SHE WAS SHOWING INTEGRATED SITUATIONS WHERE CHILDREN WERE PLAYING TOGETHER.

SHE WAS GOING TO WORKER RALLIES.

SHE WAS SUPPORTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

LITERALLY 10 YEARS BEFORE THAT CAME TO THE FOREFRONT IN THE 1960s.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THROUGHOUT HER PORTFOLIO.

>> YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF SELF PORTRAITS BEFORE SELFFIES WERE A THING THAT THEY ARE NOW.

WHAT MOTIVATED HER WORK TAKING PICTURES OF HERSELF THROUGH WINDOWS OR GLASS OR WHAT HAVE YOU?

>> HERSELF PORTRAITS ARE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING ASPECTS OF HER WORK.

WHEN I STARTED THIS PROJECT, WE HAD ABOUT 200 VIVIAN MAIER SELF PORTRAITS AND BY THE END OF IT I FOUND 585 OF THEM.

SHE WAS PROLIFIC AND TOOK THEM THROUGHOUT HER LIFE.

AND I WAS ABLE TO THE TYPE OF SELF PORTRAIT SHE WAS DOING WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HER LIFE.

FOR INSTANCE IN NEW YORK WHEN SHE WAS PURSUING COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY MOST OF HERSELF PORTRAITS PORTRAY HER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER.

IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THE GAMUT OF WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND THEY WERE VERY CREATIVE AND CHANGED SCOPE AND FORM THROUGHOUT HER CAREER.

>> AND MANY KNOW SHE SPENT SO MANY YEARS AS A NANNY PEOPLE DESCRIBED HER AS BEING CHARACTERMATIC AND OUTGOING OR MEAN AND INTROVERTED.

WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER ABOUT HER MENTAL STATE AND PERSONALITY?

>> I THINK SHE WAS ALL THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DESCRIBED.

IT JUST DEPENDED ON THE SITUATION WHO SHE WAS WITH.

AND IF SHE GOT TO KNOW YOU WELL, SHE WAS LOVELY AND FUNNY AND SOMETIMES SHE WAS DETACHED BECAUSE SHE HAD THIS TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD AND REALLY HAD TROUBLE ESTABLISHING AND SUSTAINING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE.

SO SHE COULD SEE SEEM COLD AND DISTANCE.

>> IN YOUR RESEARCH, DO YOU FIND AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF WHY SHE LET MOST OF HER WORK STAY HIDDEN AS SHE WORKED AS A NANNY?

AND DIDN'T PURSUE THIS AS A VOCATION IN HER LATER YEARS?

>> YES, WHAT HAPPENED WAS IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT VIVIAN MAIER HAD A HOARDING DISORDER AND SHE WAS HOARDING NEWSPAPERS.

AND I'VE STUDIED THAT DISORDER QUITE A BIT AND TALKED TO SOME OF THE FOREMOST EXPERTS AND IT TURNS OUT THAT PHOTOGRAPHS AND NEWSPAPERS ARE PART OF THE SAME CATEGORY OF COLLECTING PAPER.

AND THEY PROVIDE THE SAME BENEFITS.

VIVIAN WAS COLLECTING NEWSPAPERS SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO THE TYPE FACES AND THE INFORMATION AND SHE WAS KEEPING LITTLE SPESES OF LIFE BY HERSELF AND PHOTOGRAPHS DID THE SAME THING.

SO BY THE TIME SHE TURNED 30 AND SHE MOVED TO CHICAGO, SHE WAS HOARDING PHOTOGRAPHS, TOO.

AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO LET GO OF HER PHOTOGRAPHS EVEN IF SHE HAD WANTED TO.

>> SO MUCH TO UNCOVER HERE.

ANN MARKS CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BOOK AND ADDING MORE TO THE CANNON OF THE FAME MUTS PHOTOGRAPHER THAT WE'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> AND THE BOOK IS CALLED VIVIAN MAIER DEVELOPED THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER NANNY.

FIND OUT MORE AND SEE PHOTOS BY VIVIAN MAIER ON OUR WEBSITE.

>> AND UP NEXT, CELEBRATING A MICHIGAN AVENUE ICON IN AN ENCORE EDITION OF "ASK GEOFFREY".

A CHICAGO ICON TURNS 100 THIS YEAR AND GEOFFREY BAER IS HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT IN TONIGHT'S EDITION OF "ASK GEOFFREY".

GEOFFREY WELCOME BACK GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE IN THE STUDIO.

>> IT'S GREAT.

>> TELL US WHAT IMPACT DID THE WRIGLEY BUILDING HAVE ON MICHIGAN AVENUE?

>> WHEN THE WRIGLEY BUILDING OPENED IN 1921 IT INAUGURATED THIS ERA OF THE MAGNIFICENT MILE.

SOME PEOPLE TODAY ARE SAYING THAT THE MAGNIFICENT MILE IS NOT AS MAGNIFICENT AS IT'S BEEN WITH THE CLOSING OF STORES LIKE MACY'S AND THE GAP AND THE DISNEY STORE BUT THE WRIGLEY BUILDING STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.

A LITTLE OVER A CENTURY AGO, THE STREET NOW KNOWN AS THE MAG MILE LINED WITH RESTAURANTS, STORES AND HISTORIC SKYSCRAPERS WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A COUNTRY ROAD CALLED PINE STREET EXTENDING NORTH WITH THE SMELLY CHICAGO RIVER AND A TRANSFORMATION WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN WITH THE OPENING OF THE MICHIGAN AVENUE BRIDGE NOW DUSABLE BRIDGE N1920, FOLLOWED A YEAR LATER, BY THE WRIGLEY BUILDING.

THE AREA WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WOULDN'T BE AN AREA THAT MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN BECAUSE IT WOULD BE AT THE HEART OF INDUSTRY.

>> RIGHT BEHIND WHERE THE WRIGLEY BUILDING IS WAS A CHEESE FACTORY.

NOTORIOUSLY ORDER DOORIOUS.

AND ACROSS THE STREET THEY MADE SOAP.

>> TO MANY PEOPLE THIS MUST HAVE SEEMED TO BE A CRAZY PLACE TO BUILDING A SKYSCRAPER BUT FOR THE CHEWING GUM WRIGLEY IT WAS A MASTER STROKE BY A MASTER OF PROMOTION.

>> WILLIAM WRIGLEY WAS A MAN WITH A LOT OF ENERGY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT DONE EVERYTHING THAT HE DID.

HE WAS RUNNING THIS GLOBAL CORPORATION AND RUNG A BASEBALL TEAM.

>> THE WRIGLEY BUILDING WAS THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER NORTH OF THE CHICAGO RIVER DESIGNED YOU BY GRAHAM, ANDERSON PROBST AND WHITE IT WAS A STYLE THAT GREW OUT THE CLASSIC CALI INSPIRED WHITE CITY AT CHICAGO'S 1893 WORLD'S FAIR.

>> JUST WHAT REALLY APPEALED TO PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE RELATIVELY NEW COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, STILL OUR BEACON WHAT WE WERE HARKENING BACK TO WAS EUROPE, RIGHT?

SO WE WANTED THOSE OLD STYLES.

WE THOUGHT THAT THAT IS WHAT SHOWED IMPORTANCE.

>> THE SHINY EXTERIOR LOOKS ALL WHITE.

BUT THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIX SLIGHTLY SHADES OF GLAZEDTER COT TA TIES TO DRAW YOUR EYE UPWARD INTEREST THE BOTTOM HAS A LOT OF BLUE IN IT I ALITTLE BIT DARKER AND AS IT GOES UP THEY ADD MORE AND MORE OF LIGHTER COLOR UNTIL RIGHT AT THE TOP IT IS A SHINING WHITE TOWER THAT IS VIZZABLE.

>> A JOG IN MICHIGAN AVENUE GAVE PEOPLE A VIEW OF Mr. WRIGLEY'S BUILDING LIKE AN ALL WHITE VERSION OF THE EMERALD CITY AT THE END OF THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD.

EN CRUSTED IN ORNAMENT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY RAN OUT OF ROOM ON THE WALLS.

LOOK AT THE DETAIL THAT NO ONE CAN SEE FROM THE STREET.

WE ARE ON THE ROOF.

>> ON THE TOP OF THE TOWER YOU SEE A CLOCK FACE AND IT'S TWO STOREYS OF THE BUILDING.

BUT IT'S ELECTRIC.

SO THAT MAKES IT TO KEEP NEAR PERFECT TIME AND BECOMES AN IMPORTANT WAY FOR CHICAGOANS TO ORIENT THEMSELVES.

>> AND GAVE PEOPLE ANOTHER REASON TO LOOK AT THE BUILDING.

THE CLOCK TOWER WAS INSPIRED BY THE BELL TOWER OF THE SEVILLE CATHEDRAL IN SPAIN.

>> SO WHO SETS THE HANDS LIKE WHO CHANGES THE TIME ON THE CLOCK?

>> WE DO IT WITH RADIOS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE SOMEBODY CALLING UP AND SAYING IT'S THIS TIME WHAT TIME DO YOU SEE AND WE'LL MOVE IT.

>> ABOVE THE CLOCK WAS AN OBSERVATION DECK.

EACH VISITOR GOT A PIECE OF WRIGLEY GUM.

THE OBSERVATION DECK WAS ANOTHER PART OF WRIGLEY'S STRATEGY OF USING THE BUILDING TO PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS.

>> WRIGLEY'S NAME IS NOT ON THE BUILDING BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDING ANYWHERE IN CHICAGO IT DOMINATES THE LANDSCAPE.

>> Mr. WRIGLEY MADE SURE THE BUILDING WOULD STAND OUT AFTER DARK LIGHTING THE EXTERIOR FROM DAY ONE.

THERE ARE LIGHTS ACROSS THE RIVER WE HAVE LIGHTS ACROSS THE STREET AND WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH A COUPLE BUILDINGS BECAUSE WE HAVE LIGHTS ON ROOFTOPS.

>> THE WRIGLEY FAMILY SOLD THE BUILDING IN 2011 BUT IN THE SPIRIT OF WILLIAM WRIGLEY THE CURRENT OWNER HAS PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS TO CELEBRATE ITS 100TH BIRTHDAY INCLUDING A PROMOTIONAL STUNT Mr. WRIGLEY WOULD LIKELY HAVE LOVED.

THE OWNERS HELD A CONTEST FOR 100 PEOPLE TO GET MARRIED AT THE BUILDING.

370 COUPLES ENTERED THE CONTEST.

>> PEOPLE REALLY WROTE THESE BEAUTIFUL ESSAYS ABOUT WHAT THE BUILDING MEANS TO THEM.

AND SOMETHING INTANGIBLE.

>> THE MAG MILE IS ONCE AGAIN AT A CRITICAL POINT IN ITS HISTORY.

AS MORE CONSUMERS SHOP ON-LINE, AND MAJOR STORES SHUTTER THEIR LOCATIONS, SOME SAY THE ICONIC STREET NEEDS TO BE REIMAGINED.

>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT WHAT CAN WE DO THAT MAKES IT MORE, SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN COME DOWN AND NOT JUST SHOP AND BUY SOMETHING BUT EXPERIENCE SOMETHING.

>> LIKE THE STARBUCKS ROASTRY OR THE ICE CREAM MUSEUM PLANNED TO OPEN IN TRIBUNE TOWER AND ATTRACTIONS IN VACANT STORES BASED ON HARRY POTTER AND KING TUT.

BUT AS MICHIGAN AVENUE ADJUSTS THE WRIGLEY BUILDING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A GATEWAY.

>> IT REMAINS AN IMPORTANT LANDMARK HERE ON MICHIGAN AVENUE THAT MAKES PEOPLE LIKE STAND AND LOOK WITH WONDER.

>> IT MEANS SOMETHING.

IT MEANS HOPE THE BEACON.

>> AND GEOFFREY AS THE BUILDING'S OWNERS LOOK TO THE FUTURE THEY ARE MAKING THE LIGHTING MORE SUSTAINABLE?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THE LIGHTS THAT SHINE ON THE BUILDING TAKE UP A LOT OF POWER.

AND THEY ARE UPGRADING THE LIGHTING SYSTEM ADDING LIGHTS THERE ARE 100 LIGHTS THERE WILL BE 300 LIGHTS BUT LED LIGHTS.

SO THEY WILL DECREASE THE ELECTRICITY USE BY 60-70%.

>> I'M IMPRESSED YOU WERE NOT PHASED BY BEING ON THE ROOF SO HIGH UP.

>> IT WAS FUN.

>> ALL RIGHT GEOFFREY BAER THANK YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> GOOD TO BE HERE.

>> AND WE'RE BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

BUT FIRST A LOOK AT THE WEATHER... "CHICAGO TONIGHT" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY... >> AND THAT IS OUR SHOW 230R THIS TUESDAY NIGHT.

>> PLEASE JOIN US TOMORROW NIGHT LIVE AT 7:00 P.M. FROM EXCUSED ABSENCES FROM MENTAL HEALTH TO LIFTING LIMITS ON STUDENTS' LOOK THE NEW LAWS TAKING EFFECT NEXT YEAR.

>> ONE-ON-ONE WITH CHICAGO'S PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSIONER ON NEW COVID RESTRICTIONS AND STILL RISING CASES.

>> AND NOW FOR ALL OF US HERE AT "CHICAGO TONIGHT" I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

>> I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
