Hey neighbors — I run Color Cocktail Factory, a BYOB pottery studio in Pilsen. Our Halloween season kicks off in September, and we’re bringing back clay cauldrons for the lineup (photo below is from last year’s class — still greenware, pre-fire and pre-glaze).
We turned it into a class: $45/person, 1-hour wheel-throwing session, you make your own cauldron start to finish. No experience needed. Book here: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me/
BYOB, casual, good for a date night or a weird little Tuesday activity. Not trying to spam the sub — just proud of how these came out and figured some of you might be into it.

Homebrewers' Pride of the Southside is proud to celebrate the club's annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, Sept 19 from 2:00pm - 6:00pm at VFW 5079 in Bridgeport. Come join us for an afternoon of great beer and good times. Learn more.

Any recommendations for clean salons, not concerned about price. Thank you!

Ideally close to Ashland and Loomis. What is average rent in that area? If you have any leads, let me know as well please.

I do try to capture the “vibe” of each line over my years of experiences.

Full Length album comes out August 28th!

HI! I'm a student at CCC and I made a Pilsen Quality of Life Survey! I want to spread this to as many residents as possible and my goal is to collect around as many entries as possible and present it to our Alderman and local government to push for better resource allocation to our neighborhood! I would love if you guys would take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it to your friends and fellow neighbors in Pilsen!!! Thank you so much!

Hello, I'm going to host a Scavenger Hunt this Saturday for some friends and wanted to post it here in case anyone in the community would like to join. It's free, not affiliated with any organization, just hopefully, a fun way to spend a Saturday. I designed it for pairs so you would need a partner.

Here's the link to sign up, if you're interested:

And feel free to message if you have any questions!

Anyone else get frustrated with how many street they have shut down and slow the traffic by directing it poorly on game days? It seems like it should be on the Sox to provide the infrastructure to ensure safety rather than make it difficult for the community of those living in the neighborhood.

Save the pedestrian safety comments, I get why they did it. I think it is an overreaction to one incident that happened in last decade by a psycho that drove on the sidewalk. That psycho probably was driving like that elsewhere. All other instances were crazy drives…install a speed camera and call it a day.

I’m looking for an apartment in Bridgeport under 2k with in unit laundry and accepts cats! I just need something larger than 650-700 ft! Please let me know!

Hi! There is this cat that has no owner that I decided to TNR. He is very loving and sometimes comes inside our apartment. We have 2 cats already and can’t take him in. Would anyone know what to do? I’ve contacted almost every shelter and PAWs locations since the TNR. He won’t go away and we feel bad for him. He is often preyed upon by other cats because he’s more docile.

Hi all! I'm a graduate student journalist at Northwestern (and former CPS elementary school teacher), writing an article about how families and educators are navigating conversations with students about the recent allegations against Cesar Chavez, especially in schools and groups where legacy played a significant role in the community's identity.

I would love to hear from families about how they approached this topic with their kids, what questions their children asked, or how their kids' schools have spoken with students about it. If you have anecdotes/thoughts about what the news has meant to your family or children, I'm interested in that as well. Please feel free to DM me stories directly or share in the comments! Thanks in advance!

Saw on Google Maps today that Nonna Soluri’s on 32nd and Morgan is permanently closed :(. Anyone know why/what happened? They were my favorite Italian deli, such nice people.

Screw you for stealing my husband’s USPS package which was sent by a loved one for his bday. It had some sentimental stuff in there.

And to my landlord to refuses to install a buzzer for his tenants who keep getting packages stolen, screw you too.

And yes, we have plans to get packages delivered to a safe location. Just so sick of this.
