There Goes the Neighborhood

Mon, 19 May 2008 06:25:39 -0500

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words -- especially if its subject is gentrification. This blog aims to bypass Chicago's never-ending debate about that controversial and over-used word, and head straight to its often hideous results: condos. Think of it as visual venting for Chicago's aesthetically offended residents.

Chicago River Blog

The Chicago River is more than a conduit for tourists and green dye. It's an unnatural wonder. We killed it with sewage and made it bubble with decomposing pig offal. We dug it out, encased it in concrete, and reversed its flow, connecting America's two mighty water systems, the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. The Chicago River Blog will tell the story of the river that defines our city.

It Came From Craigslist

Craigslist is more than just a place to get ripped off / rip other people off: It's also a place to find new places worth seeing in your own backyard.

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:52:50 -0500

Bob Marley said it best. With health, economic and educational disparities flooding our Chicago streets, this blog is a single voice in the global sphere serenading our community with a redemption song.

Windy City Wanderers

Mon, 19 May 2008 05:40:01 -0500
