This month, WTTW will premiere a new program hosted by award-winning producer Geoffrey Baer, who will take you on an adventure to explore The Most Beautiful Places in Chicago. Discover the stories of how these innovative and uniquely magnificent spaces and places across the many neighborhoods of Chicago came to be, why they are meaningful to the people who live and work nearby, and why we should all know their histories. On the companion website, you’ll find an audio tour of some of Geoffrey’s favorite places, a web-extra video where viewers can meet Chicago’s mermaid sculpture and the artist behind its once-mysterious origins, and a place for you to submit your own picks for the most beautiful place!
March is Women’s History Month, and WTTW will celebrate with a Sunday evening triple bill of British dramas about women – Call the Midwife, Sanditon , and Marie Antoinette ; an Independent Lens profile of equal rights activist Ruby Duncan; and a Gershwin Prize tribute to legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.
WFMT Presents will mark International Women’s Day with violinist Hilary Hahn in conversation with Lisa Flynn in advance of her Symphony Center recital; a playlist of works by important women artists curated by pianist Sara Davis Buechner; and Cheryl Frazes Hill’s treatise on the legendary conductor, chorus director, and educator Margaret Hillis. On wfmt.com, meet Francesca Caccini, a 17th century Italian musician credited as the first woman to write an opera, La liberazione di Ruggiero; and take a deep dive into the multi-year creation of Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman .
On behalf of all of us at WTTW and WFMT, I want to thank you for your support as we celebrate Women’s History Month and head into the first days of spring.

Throughout the 1950s, Elvis Presley led the rock ‘n’ roll revolution in music and pop culture. By 1968, it had been more than seven years since he had appeared on stage in front of a live audience. In June 1968, Elvis taped his first television special. It stands today as one of the great moments in rock music history and as a stunningly brilliant milestone in Elvis’s career.

Chicago is full of places that take your breath away, from gilded lobbies to verdant parks and eye-popping skyscrapers to glorious sacred spaces. Geoffrey Baer has visited a lot of these stunning locations while exploring Chicago for his WTTW documentaries, and his newest special will take you even further into The Most Beautiful Places in Chicago
The special, along with an immersive companion website, premieres on WTTW on Tuesday, March 7 at 7:00 pm and will be available to stream at the same time on the PBS Video app and at wttw.com/beautifulplaces.
We spoke to Geoffrey about the show and his love for Chicago, its people, and their cherished places.
Premiering Tuesday, March 7 at 7:00 pm on WTTW, wttw.com/beautifulplaces, and the PBS Video app
THE GUIDE: What is the premise of the new show?
GEOFFREY BAER: I have been doing this for so many years, and in every show, I come across a handful of amazingly beautiful places or things in the Chicago area. I started thinking about these places that you go into and people just can’t believe their eyes. The Elks Memorial in Lincoln Park that looks like the Roman Pantheon; the Hindu temple – it’s called a mandir – in Bartlett; these places that are so spectacular.
Part of the fun of this show is that we’re calling it The Most Beautiful Places in Chicago, an intentionally provocative title. We’re encouraging people to get into that debate with us and tell us about other places they might suggest.
THE GUIDE: Did you include other people’s “most beautiful places” and hear their opinions?
BAER: A big component of this special is the interviews we conduct with people as they show us their beautiful places.
We broadened the definition of beauty so that it’s not just physical, visual beauty, but it’s also what makes a place or a thing beautiful because of its meaning to a person or to a community, and how it’s used. So we have Ernie Wong talking about transforming abandoned industrial sites like an old quarry and an old railroad yard into beautiful parks [Palmisano Park and Ping Tom Park, respectively] for communities that are in need of open space, and how that feels to him and what it contributes to the community.
Roman Villarreal, the artist who created the sculpture in Steelworkers Park – he’s one of my favorite interviews in the show –talks about the meaning of the steel mill to the community and what it meant when the steel mill closed, and what he wanted to say with his sculpture. It’s just beautiful to me.
I loved hearing from these people. Like Juan Gabriel Moreno, the architect of
Northeastern Illinois University’s El Centro, talking about how every community deserves dramatic and beautiful architecture, not just downtown. There’s the physical beauty of his building, but also the beauty of what it means to him and to the neighborhood.
THE GUIDE: Were there new places you discovered in this show?
BAER: I knew nothing about Baitul Ilm Mosque in Streamwood. I was aware of a lot of different mosques, but I really wanted to find one that was outstandingly beautiful. We had an intern compile a huge database of all the Islamic religious sites that we could find in the Chicago region and I started Googling them all. As soon as I landed on Baitul Ilm, I said, “How did I not know about this place?” It’s dazzling.
I had never been to the Ukrainian Saints Volodymyr and Olha Church. I’ve known about the ore walls at Steelworkers Park for years, but I got to climb them, which was really fun. I’ve been watching Jeanne Gang’s St. Regis Tower going up over the last few years, but had never been inside. We got to go up to the penthouse.
The show starts with me getting in a little airplane because the pilot wants to show
me what he considers the most beautiful place, which for him is flying at about one thousand feet over the lakefront at sunset or sunrise. Whenever I fly, I always try to get a window seat, and there’s that moment when you’re returning to Chicago and you’re heading over Lake Michigan and I’m just glued to the window hoping I’m on the right side of the plane to get a nice view of downtown, which you get to see for about ten seconds. So to go up in a small airplane and fly up and down the lakefront for 45 minutes was fantastic.
THE GUIDE: What makes Chicago itself, as a whole, beautiful?
BAER: I think people are ready for a reminder of what we love about Chicago. Our diversity is our strength. It’s a city of people who came here for a better life, as my grandparents did, as so many of our grandparents did, as Black people did in the Great Migration. Historically, it’s been seen as a place of opportunity. As is true of everywhere in America, there’s unfortunate inequity, but the ideal of a place like Chicago is that anybody can come here and make a better life for themselves.
