Ladies: According to the Honorary Consul of Jamaica for Chicago, there are about 60,000 Jamaicans in the Chicago area. How do you handle the cold air off the Michigan lake? Petina: My saving grace is my winter coat—you can barely see me hidden under there. I don’t think I will ever get used to that wind! I can’t wait until spring (or at least the next Jamaica trip)….
