A Russian expat and a long-time resident of Chicago suburbs.Since 2006, I've been exploring every corner Chicago and its suburbs (and beyond). I've seen it's richest neighborhoods and it's poorest ghettos. I've seen ethnic and social enclaves. I've seen rebirth and decay. I followed history as it wound it's way through every street, every corner and every building.

There is still plenty more to see - and I'll be documenting it every step of the way.
