To our business friends.

Rushmore of all-time radio moments. War of the Worldsl, FDR’s speech, MLK’s “I have a dream” speech, JFK talking about the Cuban missile crisis.

Rushmore of movies set in Chicago, and this one waqs difficult. “Home Alone,” “Christmas Vacation,” “The Sting” and “The Breakfast Club.” (Which leaves off a slew of classics, including “Uncle Buck,” “Ferris Bueller” and “Weird Science” and all the John Hughes flicks, “The Untouchables,” “Blue Brothers,” “Wayne’s World,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “Mean Girls” and a slew of others. Tough category.)

Rushmore of movie boats. Titanic, Orca, Red October and the Black Pearl.

Rushmore of earworm songs. “Baby Shark,” “Who Let the Dogs Out,” “Macarena” and everything Barney ever sang.
