What part of Chicago do you all hail from?

let's get a happy hour together when it's not so cold 😅

@Amanda Scheldt I’m a Saluki alum - love the area, secretly some of the best natural areas in the country.

Down state Illinois resident here!

Oh, nice. Cool to see a channel for Chi-town!

Hey everyone! I'm not from Chicago but it is where I tell everyone I'm from when I travel internationally. (I'm actually from Indiana, not even that close to Chicago)

Great to connect with you all! I’m getting into content after working in sales for an agency here. Any advice on agencies to work at or going inhouse somewhere?

heeeey! not exactly local to Chicago, but close enough to have the same weather. may your furnaces and coffee stay warm today!

@Olivia Barrow if this isn’t content management weather, then I don’t know what is.

Hello Midwesterners! Everyone staying warm today?? I'm currently wearing a blanket hoodie and a cat.

Hey everyone!

Woohoo, local channels return!

Calling all Illinois freelancers! Our state is on the verge of passing the Freelance Workers Protection Act, which has provisions that ensure freelancers get paid on time and recourse if we aren't. The legislation has passed both the IL House and Senate and is pending the governor's signature (which is expected).

Rep. Will Guzzardi, who sponsored the bill, is hosting a celebration of the bill's passage on Thursday, June 15 at 6:00 pm at Middle Brow in Logan Square, located at 2840 W Armitage Ave, Chicago. (I plan to be there!)

Details in the attached flyer and RSVP here if you plan to attend.

woo!
