This article has gone through a previous round of
peer review and several failed
FACs. After attempting to address several issues relating to the previous FACs, I am wondering if there is anything that has to be done with this article so that it will succeed FAC if it were nominated again.

Fix red links, convert "Related topics" lists to prose, eg. 1959 Pan American Games in Chicago, Arlington Park, Chicago Motor Speedway etc etc instead of a bulleted list. —

Per
WP:CONTEXT and
WP:BTW, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link
January 15,
2006, but do not link January 2006.
This article may need to undergo
summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is
United States, than an appropriate subpage would be
History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.
This article can use copyediting to ensure that the it exemplifies some of
Wikipedia's best work.
You may wish to browse through
User:AndyZ/Suggestions (and the javascript checklist; see the last paragraph in the lead) for further ideas.
Nicely done, a bit long though, some sections like sports can be made a bit shorter. Thanks

I have attempted to summarize some sections. Is there anything specific that is needed?

Nice work- this has come a long way since the last four times I objected on its FACs. (The time before that, I nominated it.) I think the only remaining issue is that the use of inline citations starts to wane by the end of the article. I think it's sufficient, but some people might think that a near 60kb article should have more than 36 inlines. Overall, though, excellent work.

Review
Mos has to be followed (hyphens used as dashes)
The climate table can be moved to the climate subarticle.
text needs a copyedit to tighten the sentences
during the younger Daley's administration have made world headlines – what sort of "world" headlines?
=history= is choppy. Sentences needs to flow
Beyond local elections, Chicago.. – entire para can be summarised into one sentence. Infact most of the section glosses over the fact that Chicago is a Democratic bastion. Can be summarised.
In sites of interest, context needed for Navy Pier
