In the 2020 Census Chicago's population increased by only 2% or just 50,000 residents. The smallest growth amongst the top cities in the country. This episode I talk with 4 Chicagoans who all moved away in the past decade. They discuss what they miss about home, what they don't miss about home, and ultimately will they ever COME HOME?

Washington Park is a neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago most notably known for the massive beautiful park that shares the same name, the DuSable Museum, and more. On this episode I talked with a Chicagoan, Brooklyn Dun, who feels that the neighborhood may be changing and not for the good.

The Southside should be the destination for the Obama Presidential Library, there is no other option, the Southside is home. However, the specific location which is Jackson Park is the catalyst of concern amongst local residents and activists. On this episode Micheal Rachlis, Co-Counsel for Protect Our Parks, and Grahm Balkany, an architect of 20+ years, discuss alternative locations for where the library could have and should have been developed. They, and many others, believe there are better locations where the library and community alike can flourish in harmony.
