Why Chicago is Perfect for a Holiday Rom-Com

Who doesn’t love snuggling up in front of the TV to rewatch a classic Christmas movie over the holidays? The only thing that would make it better is rewatching a Chicago Christmas movie. The 1995 rom-com “While You Were Sleeping” follows Lucy (Sandra Bullock) — a lonely CTA worker who has been mistaken as the fiancee for a man in a coma (Peter Gallagher). Lucy ends up falling in love with the man’s family, especially his brother (Bill Pullman). Host Jacoby Cochran, producer Simone Alicea, and journalist Leigh Giangreco rewatched the film and graded its Chicago-ness.

Some news: The families of Brandon Perez and Nathan Billegas are raising money via to cover their funeral expenses after the Benito Juarez High School students were shot and killed Friday while leaving the Pilsen school.
