The last few weeks we spent time diving into the fantasy that was the World’s Columbian Exposition. This has always been an event that I would do anything to go back in time to attend. In reality, if I existed as myself all the way back in 1893, there’s no way I would’ve attended the Fair. At best, I would’ve been on display at the Midway.

One thing Daniel Burnham didn’t shy away from was criticism. He knew that Chicago had too much potential that was withering away. Before he even sat down to write the “Streets” section of his 1909 plan, Chicago’s City Council had spent decades trying to rename, renumber, and reimagine the city streets.

One of the largest projects that the plan broke down was transportation. The ideas were large and costly. Burnham dedicated a great part of his plan to remapping the city with a focus on how people and freight interacted.

The Burnham Plan of Chicago stands as a clear example of an era when wealthy power players used their influence to shape the city, believing, at least in part, that their vision would serve the public good. Were they always right? Not necessarily. But given the choice, I’ll take an ambitious parks system over another phallic rocket launched into space any day.

The roar of Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was not just the sound of industry and stockyards; it was the rising collective voice of women demanding influence, education, and reform. Far from the halls of government, these voices were first amplified within the elegant, often unassuming walls of women's clubs, institutions that were simultaneously havens for self-improvement and clandestine engines of social chang...
How many statues of women exist in the city of Chicago; people have asked this question every year in March for the last decade at least! What I found most surprising is that we’re still getting the same answer. Why are there only a handful of monuments?

This week is one of our favorites. Chicago turns 189, it’s Women’s History Month, and you can finally feel that little hint of spring in the air. There was no way we were skipping a celebration of Chicago’s birthday — so we did what we love most: dove!

It’s easy to roll your eyes at a heritage month.
To assume it’s corporate. Performative. Political. A logo swap and a themed menu and then back to business as usual.
But when you step back and really look at the data — at tourism dollars, small business revenue, museum attendance, school engagement, public programming — you start to see something deeper. Heritage months aren’t just symbolic. They move ci...
We often spend days looking for one single thread that helps us unravel a story. It often takes even longer when the story is set on the South Side of Chicago. We look for publications, ads, cookbooks, letters, and anything else that would have documented that time period for even a glimpse into what life would be like. One thing that never fails us is the Negro Motroist Green Book. Published between 1936 and 1966, this guidebook o...
A Porter’s Life: Riding the Rails of Black Labor History
The morning of April 6th 1907, Ross Wood decided to fill out the application to become a Pullman Porter. He was 23 years old, and until this point he has only ever worked as a servant; a “houseboy”. Wood was born to parents that were enslaved not too long before he was born. He thought about how if he had been born just 20 years earlier, he too would’ve...
