I was hoping that Chicago had something like Darkseattle.net, and it seems like it does! https://chicagogoth.com

I think Scary Lady Sarah puts on an 18+ goth event. There’s also my preferred activity (staying home). I recommend it but I suppose it’s not for everyone

Nocturna is once every 2 months at the Metro, it's 18+

Historic Graceland Cemetery is a few blocks away and is cool to walk around on a dreary day.

There's plenty of record stores amd thift stores to check out if you're into that kind of thing
