I lived there from 92 to 99. The city has changed a lot since then, but what the hell. Followed😁✌️

babewiththepower.bsky.social•139 days ago

There's some sort of feed or list of Chicago people. Some who follow it follow me, so maybe they can jump in here and let you know.

South side! Home of US Senator-Elect Ruben Gallego

enricofermi.bsky.social•138 days ago

Really? He's from Chicago?

petea.bsky.social•138 days ago

Yep. Evergreen Park specifically. His home was literally a block away from the Chicago city limits. He went to Evergreen Park Community High School then Harvard. Still visits and supports the community too.

sailorjenny773.bsky.social•139 days ago

@renatomariotti.bsky.social I didn’t create a starter pack, but I did start a list of my own in an attempt to do the same thing.

Will have to check that directory out!

dothaight.bsky.social•138 days ago

I did a list for Texas where I currently live. I need to do one for my hometown Chicago.

theresareloveution.bsky.social•139 days ago

Yes, what she said- starter pack is the way to go.

sailorjenny773.bsky.social•139 days ago

Can I turn a list into a starter pack?

Hello Renato! I was born & raised in Chicago. South side. Moved to TX in 1987. Chicago skyline, Lake Michigan, broadway, dive bars & the food keeps me coming back. 👍 I’d say family but they have shown time & again that I’m unwelcome per my liberal leanings. They are proud & loud MAGAs. 🤬
