I was born and raised in Chicagoland. My mom and dads families are from the Near South Side, a working class area of the city. I work in the Loop (downtown) and have been for nearly 10 years. I studied History at college and currently work in the public sector. I am quite knowledgeable about the city's history and have been all over chicago throughout my life. I am happy to offer guidance and tips, take tours around the city or help those who need a ride. I also have traveled extensively in the region (upper midwest) and can help with day trip advice as well.
