If you saw Senite now, the way I see her on this cold day in the city that she loves so painfully, you'd understand just how much evolution and transformation had to occur to transmute all the chaos into art and something hopeful.
Spike Carter is a fun-going boy band who personify late night drink specials, regretful texts to your ex (you’re secretly glad you sent), and that extra shot of Malort you knew you should’ve passed on more than they fit the traditional “I want it that way” Backstreet Boys template (although their single “Shake” could give anything Max Martin has written a run for its money).

In the past few years, Torres Omar has earned a reputation as the city’s go-to for jewelry. Being a jeweler was a side hustle for Joey Torres at first, but as time went on, he saw the greater impact he could make for his family and community.
To the keen observer, La Estrella is a little different from the regular corner store. To most, it's a regular store, but to others within the Chicago art scene, La Estrella is a creative hub. A fully immersed in local hip-hop culture and history.

“Everything Must Go is an illustrated collection of poems in the spirit of a graphic novel, a collaboration between poet Kevin Coval and illustrator Langston Allston. The book celebrates Chicago’s Wicker Park in the late 1990’s, Coval’s home as a young artist, the ancestral neighborhood of his forebears, and a vibrant enclave populated by colorful characters. Allston’s illustrations honor the neighborhood as it once was, before gentrification remade it. The book excavates and mourns that which has been lost in transition and serves as a template for understanding the process of displacement and reinvention currently reshaping American cities." via Haymarket Books
