🎃Early Scottish immigrants to Chicago helped shape today's Halloween: “I think Halloween is symbolic of not just this one...day of the year, but the spirit of immigration, of change, of passage from one place to another,” said Gus Noble of Chicago Scots. blockclubchicago.org/2026/10…

Was talking with a friend about how when I was younger in the early 2000s / Late 90s, I remember seeing the Francheezie a lot more. I feel you don’t see them much anymore, but I could be wrong. Good write up by @linzerice blockclubchicago.org/2025/07…

This is a story about someone you've probably never heard of: Chicago's 'only' lynching victim. Huge TY to @colinbphoto for helping to find where Willie Bell is buried, since there's no grave marker. Please give this @BlockClubCHI story a read. blockclubchicago.org/2026/10…
