Also, the note underneath is outdated. Classic Chicago now has a dedicated story-pitch form, so I’d replace the old generic editors email instructions with:
Pitching note: Classic Chicago Magazine now accepts article pitches through its online “Want to Write for Classic Chicago Magazine?” form. The editors welcome proposals about Chicago people, places, history, culture, and related subjects.
