It's been wildly successful. Why? Because it's more than just an editorial doctrine. In a city of cool people doing cool things in cool ways, it's a reflection of how Chicagoans live, work, and play. And no season brings that ethos to life better than "Summertime Chi." Capturing the laid-back, Summer Friday-fun zeitgeist is Leinenkugel's social media contest: Through August 5, post your favorite #LeinieFridayContest office picture—like toasting that winning sales pitch with a Summer Shandy—for the chance to snag a happy hour experience with Leinie family members. Visit promorules.com/PL4980 for official contest rules. As it were, sipping a Leinenkugel's is but one of the ways to unwind at our fifth annual Ashore Thing presented by BMO Harris Bank on July 23, 2016. Join us as we toast the Chicago Yacht Club's 108th Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust with partners like Bob Loquercio Auto Group, CBS Chicago, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, the 900 North Michigan Shops, Biggs, Mackinac Island Tourism, and Chicago Helicopter Experience. Cool off with a Belvedere cocktail, flute of Veuve Clicquot, bottle of VOSS Water, or a Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy while you watch the Parade of Boats proceed across the East End of Navy Pier.

This edition marks our third annual Art of the City issue, on the heels of inaugural artist Peter Max and sophomore cover artist Hebru Brantley. On June 22, we'll toast this year's featured creative, Nick Cave, at The Gwen. Formerly the Conrad, the newly-opened space is named for Chicago sculptress Gwen Lux and features hints of '30s-era Chicago throughout, from its design flourishes to the Prohibition-inspired cocktail menu. Simply put, it's an overlap of scene, style, and space if there ever was one. . dan uslan Follow me on Twitter at @danuslan and on Facebook at facebook.com/danieluslan.
