After a busy June of events and festivals, Chicago has continued to celebrate the summer with music, art, and cultural festivals every weekend in July.
The weather has been hot in Chicago for weeks, but the Park District has not been able to hire enough lifeguards to open pools in the neighborhoods. Last week, they said with only 55% of the "targeted number of qualified seasonal lifeguards" the Park District will be able to open less than half of the outdoor pools.
