Oh boy new Ryan Murphy slop

Our new techno elite is so embarrassing man

I was intentional when I didn’t aim for 100%!

Probably sounds reasonable on its face but when you zoom into the neighborhood level that implies some radical changes. This would triple the current population of somewhere like Englewood and there’s no way that could work in a way that would make everybody happy.

Getting all neighborhoods with legacy el lines to at least 75% of their peak populations and growing the city writ large

Petition to rename Andersonville Lincoln Square East

I'm so fascinated by 'astrologists'. You make a living making tiktoks analyzing the birth charts of the women in the real housewives franchise? I work with spreadsheets too....we aren't so different

It’s very ironic after we’ve had Broadway upzoned the neighborhood is awash in proposals and developments everywhere except Broadway.

Quite the construction boom happening up around Granville. Should be good news for business owners up on Granville and Broadway. chicagoyimby.com/2026/03/five...

Chicagos 189 years old today. When my Grandparent’s were born it was less than a century old and one the top 5 largest cities in the world.

A severance package might fix me

So you don't get too comfortable...

View of Second Presbyterian and the now demolished Calumet Club at Michigan Ave and 20th street. The Calumet Club was a leading private club for men on the south side. In the late 1800's it held an annual ball for the city's remaining 'Old Settlers', those born before 1840.

$1.2M for an 11,000 square foot house in the third largest city in the country! There are one bedrooms in NYC selling for that haha

The listing has it incorrectly listed as the Griffiths-Burroughs home which is a few doors down. Realtors!

The Historic Lichstern House in Bronzeville just hit the market. A monumental victorian residence. Over 11K square feet. Priced at $1.2M. Last sold in 1996 for $55K. That price likely reflects it needing a bit of work. It could be made into a real showpiece by the right buyer

The monthly Tornado Siren test hits different during a week of heightened global instability

Markets 📉📉📉

Old paintings of the area around Woodlawn Ave. between 64th & 65th. Most of the buildings are now gone, but a few remain. (photos by a friend)

Omg yay

I remember headlines like a year or two ago about the Bronzeville Lakefront redevelopment breaking ground but haven’t heard anything in a minute. Is that still making progress?

soul sucking white collar work keeping me sane since 2016

I don't really understand much of what's going on outside of the e-mail mines and that may be for the best

Is the RLE still happening or

Not sure, I drink coffee but in an absent minded and completely non discerning way

Yemeni coffee shop coming to Uptown at the old Starbucks location at Lawrence and Broadway. This is their second location and their Libertyville location is open until 1AM. We’re going to make nighthawks real www.uptownupdate.com/2026/03/move...

Beer had its moment :(

beethoven real quiet since Satie album coming soon

Kind of an unreal full skyline view from this $150K one bedroom condo down on the Kenwood/Hyde Park border. Comes with a garage spot, but also near the metra stations. www.realtor.com/realestatean...
