Neighborhoods

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods.* Seventy-seven of them, each shaped by the people who feed it. Explore the businesses, stories, and places that make every corner of the city worth knowing.

*Ok. Fine. Technically, we're breaking down by community areas: seventy-seven official map shapes created by two University of Chicago sociologists in the 1920s for research, planning, and civic sanity. Actual neighborhoods are much more deliciously enigmatic.
