An eclectic Chicago lifestyle, magazine format, podcast and video website curated by Executive Producer Reno Lovison showcasing multicultural and age diverse people, art, music, theater, and events.
We strive to give a voice and added exposure to those who are not always in a position to get the attention of larger media outlets, perhaps because they are emerging personalities or because their message is directed to a niche audience.
Most of our posts contain original audio and video content produced by us but also produced for or by our clients and friends, as well as content we have found in various other locations around the web.
Though our content producers give their opinion (and we may be provided with gratis press entry to various events and productions) this is not intended to be a paid review website.
The idea of a curated experience is to see the collection through the eyes of the curator. We want to share what we do in Chicago and what we think might be of interest to you as a resident or visitor.
Overall this is a “News-free” and “Sports-free” zone. We rarely cover news and sports because there are outlets that are in a better position to do that more efficiently and more effectively. We hope to provide information that is more “evergreen,” that can be enjoyed over a greater period of time. Some exceptions might be shorter term events and performances or art related stories.
We focus on lifestyle, culture, history, and local business that reflects our Chicago community.
Because there is so much going on within the city limits we generally stay within the confines of the city and not try to cover all of Chicagoland except when we feel it is of particular interest.
We expect our readers, viewers and listeners to be Chicagoans, visitors to Chicago, Chicagophiles, and expat Chicagoans who want to get a sense of what is going on culturally.
