Summary: On the cover this month: "Chicago" Neon Sign. Each year the July cover highlights the location of the AACC's Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo. It does not take much effort to identify this year's host city. The Chicago Theatre, built in 1921, was originally known as the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. The preeminent theatre for nearly 50 years, this ornate but obsolete movie house closed in 1985. But it did not die. After a meticulous renovation, this 3600-seat, 7-story high icon with its 29-rank Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ regained prominence and is as popular today as it was nearly 100 years ago. Of course, there is more to Chicago than this one theatre. There are dozens of art galleries, 26 miles of lakefront, and the Magnificent Mile. But most importantly, this year Chicago is the home of cutting-edge science and the world's largest Clinical Lab Expo, which will provide you with all you need to make informed decisions about the future of your laboratory. See you in Chicago!
