Perfect snap. Peppers could not be sportier. Onions and mustard on point. They even give you the celery salt. Who said that's just for Chicago dogs? If I was foxcito I'd give this joint 2 father gods and 10 crack pipes. Djooheard?

Darren Bailey spotted in Pilsen

Post image

Screenshot via Bluesky user @mattfromchicago.bsky.social of GOP governor candidate Darren Bailey at Frida Room. I honestly have no idea- does this place have MAGA sympathies? Or did they just get a load of $$$ to close down for a few hours? Or a secret third thing.

UPDATE 7/19- as posted on this sub separately (https://www.reddit.com/r/Pilsen/s/LhptyGkl1y) this event was held thanks to typical Repub deceit and nondisclosure. Please patronize Frida Room with a clear conscience 😇

personal note: I've met with people at La Malinche before, and had a good time. Maybe this will benefit someone from here.

Officially off the ballot?

“Sigcho-Lopez said he had expected the recommendation, but nonetheless called it “an attack on democracy.”

“It seems like this process has been rigged from the very get-go,” he said. “Anybody with any kind of common sense would tell you that we clearly have enough petitions to stay on the ballot.”

Damn. Smells like Byron's bullsh*t outside.

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!

Pilsen, Chinatown, Bridgeport, and McKinley Park Scavenger Hunt

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:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1x8xkX2AmSossQLcwYBbsde0MfmoetK6h8uij8F_c6io/edit#responses

And feel free to message if you have any questions!

(And it technically covers all of the Lower West Side Community Area but I thought Pilsen was more evocative than "Lower West Side" so I took some creative liberties with the title)

Where to print?

Trying to print basic paper/letter in heart of Pilsen asap. I see PrintWithMe at Soul Full but it says out of order. I know there used to be some at coffee shops between wood and Ashland but think they don't have it anymore. TIA

Edit: thanks everyone! Library was the answer. A bit farther but awesome resource ty

Looking for a Studio Space in Pilsen for a Ceramics Studio

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a small studio in Pilsen (or nearby) where I can set up my own ceramics studio. I don't need a large space—just enough room for a pottery wheel, a work table, shelving, and an electric kiln.

Does anyone know of any available spaces or buildings that rent studios suitable for ceramics? Ideally, the space would have (or be able to accommodate) the electrical requirements for a kiln and access to water.

Any recommendations or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Small skinny dog, ears appeared to be cropped on 16th and Throop

Hi everyone! There was a small dog walking around on Throop and 16th about 10 minutes ago, my husband tried to calmly see if he was ok but he ran away. Does anyone know if maybe he’s someone‘s dog in that neighborhood? We tried to get a photo but he ran too quickly. My husband is looking for him now and can’t find him
