Hey, I'm Monica and Curious City's reporter. And here we are in what I like to call the dog days of winter, which can seem like they stretch all the way into June sometimes. This week on the podcast, we're going to revisit a story we did last year. It's chock full of tips on the best way to stay bundled up when you hit the outdoors. Plus, when the weather gets cold, one listener wanted to know what happens to all the plants

that lined Michigan Avenue in the fall.

We've got that answer, too.

That's all coming up.
