THIS IS CHICAGO

On the river, all sorts of things can be funded with crime. Watch out for Chonkosaurus.

At the lake, a birdwatcher plays mother to Chicago's most endangered cottonballs-on-sticks. Monty + Rose = Montrose.

In the park, a scientist discovers new life and changes his own. "Or whatever".

In an undisclosed alley, a diver finds divinity among the dumpsters. Bada bing, bada boom!

In Edgewater, a teacher improvises. It's a win for horse girls everywhere.

In South Lawndale, a musician struggles with love and loss. It's a hard town... a mean town.

In Armour Square, a player hits the street. Watch out for broken glass.

In Uptown, a performer with the toughest crowd. You can't spit without hitting a Kinder Care.

In West Town, dicks... get punched. Hope Grandma never finds out.

In Logan Square, a thrill-seeker faces death. It's probably cheaper than cocaine.
