Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on April 24, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Mayor Daley! You've always known how to build something lasting—Millennium Park still dazzles visitors and locals alike. Who else could turn a giant bean into Chicago's favorite selfie spot? Your vision transformed the city's skyline and gave us landmarks we'll cherish forever.

And let's not forget your knack for privatization; you made parking meters famous (or infamous) nationwide! Love it or hate it, no one can deny you've left an unforgettable mark on Chicago. Wishing you laughter, joy, and plenty of free parking today—you've earned it! Happy birthday to the mayor who truly put "wind" in Windy City politics.
