Eat, Shop, and Give in Our Neighborhoods

On City Cast Chicago, we often focus our stories around neighborhoods. That’s partly because of the old Chicago adage that we’re a "city of neighborhoods.” But it’s also because when you say the name of a neighborhood in our city, it conjures up images of the area: the racial makeup of it, how affluent it is, if disinvestment has plagued it, if it has single-family homes with yards, or is dense with three-flats or high rises. The City Cast team is taking you through each of OUR neighborhoods with some recommendations on where to eat, where to shop, and where you can donate time or money.
