b'PHOTO: WENDELLA TOURS AND CRUISESM any people are familiar with the Chicago Flag. Two beautiful sky-blue stripes em-bracing four perfect six-pointed red stars, both elegantly resting on a white field. Its simple, classic and meaningful. The Chicago Flag is recognizable far beyond the city and has been called the best city flag in the world. Despite its obvious perfection, every so often people call for the addition of a fifth star. Most recently that call has been sports related. There was a call to add a star for the White Sox World Series win in 2005, and again for the Cubs in 2016. Many wanted a star if we were awarded the Olympic games, also in 2016. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed each time as a fifth star would upset the delicate balance of stars, stripes and white fields.27 APRIL 2025'
