<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your quick response! Could you get me the info by 10am on Wednesday? I’m in the preliminary stages of reporting so this is to help me make a pitch. If I get enough info then we might turn it into a radio/podcast story. On that
note, is there anyone who might be able to hop on the phone with more for ~20 minutes to tell me more about Chicago’s natural environment? Our listener is also really curious about how plants grow in such harsh conditions here.<o:p></o:p></p>
