Long time Homan Square resident, George Dennis, shares his story with us and his memories of the community.
" I remember when Sears was here and when Madison, and Roosevelt, 16th Street were all looking like downtown. There were picture-window stores in every neighborhood. And really you didn't have to come out of your community to shop for goods."
"I love [the Art Institute of Chicago]. It's very beautiful. And I particularly like Van Gogh and Renoir..."

It is almost a sin that we waited this long to share our interview with Delicious D. She gives her opinions on her life, stand-up comedy, and dating younger men. She is absolutely hilarious! Here is the full interview--no edits, no cuts. We just left the mic on as she was signing the waiver.
"And I understand what Michael Jackson meant when he said that's the only place he could really be himself--when he came out on stage. And that was the only place--mmm--that I could really--ooh wow--I just came alive."

Featured Story
"Something I made with my own hands? Well, like I said my daughter is seven and she’s not here. He is a cancer survivor. My son is a cancer survivor. Two years. And [my daughter] had a homework assignment that was 100 things. And so it was just math where you would do 100 items. And she made 100 ribbons and she did various colors. His color was purple. She did pink for breast cancer. And she also did—kinda made up another color like—it was green. And we made it with our hands. It was cardboard. We shared that with everybody because it’s from the heart."
