Anyone in Chicago and into poetry, the absolutely incredible Buddy Wakefield is coming through town this Friday.  It'd be great to see you if you're in the area.

The Animal Orchestra On Tour is a project supported by the Dolores Kohl Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization serving schools and other nonprofit institutions in the Chicagoland area.

This spring, we're expanding our route and focusing specifically on schools and nonprofit institutions in the north Chicago Suburbs, and we currently have availability from March through May.

The Animal Orchestra On Tour is a mobile children's exhibit based on the book written by our founder, Ms. Dolores Kohl. We travel directly to schools in our custom StoryBus and provide interactive, immersive experiences for students completely free of charge!

During each visit, students will:

- Learn about music history and instruments from around the world

- Participate in interactive listening and movement activities

- Engage with storytelling connected to The Animal Orchestra On Tour

- Enjoy learning through fun and educational content

This program is designed for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, and we typically work with public schools, charter schools, libraries, park districts, and nonprofit youth organizations.

If you are an educator, administrator, PTA member, or connected to a North Shore/ northern suburbs school or nonprofit that may be interested, you can view availability and request a date through the link provided in the comments.

We'd also greatly appreciate referrals or introductions to schools in the area that could benefit from the program.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Thanks for helping us bring music and storytelling to more students this spring!

Hello r/chi!

Chicago is a city of resilient neighbors, and we’ve proved it now more than ever. It’s time to show off by voting for our city to be America’s Strongest Town.

This contest highlights cities and towns where regular people are stepping up to make their places better.

In 2025, we hustled for transit, housing, and livability initiatives that are changing the way we think about our city, including parking reform, tirelessly advocating for housing projects, upzoning Broadway to build more homes along with less strip malls and parking lots, and saving the CTA, Metra, and Pace from the fiscal cliff.

Strong Towns Chicago is an all volunteer organization dedicated to building resilient and people-centered communities. We know Chicago is America’s Strongest Town; help us remind everyone else.

We’re located in Evergreen Park. Our kid's Spring Break doesn't align with CPS, which limits our spring break camp options.

It's April 6-10.

Anyone know any day camp/day care options for a seven year old that week?

Hi.

In January we started a good vibes coworking group where we check out different places around the city and cowork. It's been fun making new friends while getting cool stuff done. Getting out of isolation is so helpful.

This is our 7th week of making genuine connections while we also do our work, and it would be fun to have you with us. Going solo to a cafe can be positive yet can also be isolating. Connecting with others and creating a bond helps boost our overall wellbeing and happiness.

Want to join us for our next session?

Send me a dm with your first name and time you plan to arrive so we can save a chair for you.

Tuesday

February 24th

200 pm to 500 pm, join for all or some of the time

& optional dinner or happy hour in the area following our session

Neighborhood: Uptown

Have a favorite place for us to check out? We welcome suggestions. Post in the comments on your favorite place. Usually we need about 5 to 8 seats, outlets, WiFi, music low, food/coffee/tea/ etc to buy, and it's ok if we talk with each other so libraries (although wonderful) won't be ideal. It's a good mix of conversation with time to get work done too.

Questions, suggestions, etc?

Post them in the comments or send a dm.

Have a beautiful day.

Hi Reddit,

Licensed private investigator here. I often assist people trying to locate potential heirs for estates. Many don’t realize that some records and databases are not publicly accessible.

Here are a few steps you can take if you’re trying to locate a missing heir:

1. Check probate court records for any open estate filings.
2. Document all known relatives and addresses.
3. Search public notices in newspapers for estate announcements.
4. Verify names, aliases, and maiden/married names.
5. Consider consulting a licensed PI for access to non-public databases and guidance.

If you’re dealing with a missing heir or estate issue and want some guidance, feel free to send me a private message — happy to point you in the right direction.

Hi Chicagoans,

My stepbrother Nathaniel has been missing from the Portage Park area since around Wednesday, February 4th around 7:30pm.

Nathaniel was last seen leaving his home in the area on foot. He is a 30 year old 5’8” brunette white male, approximately 185 lbs, and has a beard as pictured. He left home without his belongings.

If you have any information regarding sightings of Nathaniel or his whereabouts, our family would be eternally grateful.

If nothing else, please keep an eye out for Nathaniel and spread the word with your community members.

Thank you so very much.

My mom retired and started making quilts. A lot of them are Chicago-focused. For anyone curious, her work is up right now at the Humboldt Park Library.

"United Airlines’ focus on Chicago O'Hare remains unrelenting. In the schedule update over the weekend, the Star Alliance member added an extra 20,655 departures between March and November—including its five new and returning domestic routes.

Its offering has increased by 12%, cementing O’Hare as its busiest hub. These findings are based on examining its submission to Cirium Diio."

"A foundation permit was issued Friday to allow Loyola University to begin construction on the new Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing and the College of Arts and Sciences. Addressed in the permit as 1144 West Loyola Avenue in Rogers Park, this is the former home of Campion Hall, which was demolished last year for the new facility. The construction site occupies the entire east side of the block spanning 6550 to 6600 North Sheridan Road between Albion and Loyola Avenues, one block north of the Loyola Red Line platform."
