  • Tay in Chicago

    Meet Tay, a 32-year-old Edgewater resident who—about a year ago—was

    barely getting out of bed. She was going through a hard time, got the

    help she needed, and when she started feeling like herself again, she

    went after everything she'd been too depleted to pursue: line dancing,

    tabletop RPGs, musical theater, two podcasts, tarot cards, a growing

    library of YA audiobooks, and the 20-Sided Tavern—which she proceeded

    to see twenty-seven times. She counted. She is proud of this.
