Balconies are Getting Big in Chicago

Balconies, those jutting outdoor patios of delight, are all the rage right now.
Who can’t recall the joyous YouTube videos of South Loop high-rise dwellers singing Bon Jovi songs from their balconies, or cheering for healthcare workers during nightly “Chicago Unite at Night” celebrations?
