The others said everything I would have. Ill add the bike lane on dearborn is a lot of fun for riding through downtown.

Be sure to checkout !chibike@midwest.social I have a decent list of resources in the side bar, including the offical bike maps and the popular Mellow Streets Map.

Happy riding!

Great free concert in Humboldt Park, come get a taste of the Latin Jazz scene in Chicago!

Favorite Jazz Station? (midwest.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by pbrisgreat@midwest.social to c/jazz@lemmy.world

Sometimes its nice to let someone else take the wheel and have a jazz station(with a real human) playing while I work.

I'm currently in Chicago so I have a slight bias towards our public jazz station WDCB. Special shoutout to my two favorite programs they host Notes From the Jazz Underground and Jammin' Jazz

What are some of your local (or not) favorites?

Izzy's Garden (midwest.social)

Here's Izzy enjoying her little deck garden a few days ago.

When the weathers nice she loves coming out on the porch, munching on some cat grass and cat nip (everyone should try growing both!), and then taking a nap on the love seat (note all the hair).

“He said [it] tasted like that junk drawer that everybody has in their kitchen, and that just seemed so insane to me,” Mechling said. The idea that a drink could be so off-putting seemed improbable, but as soon as Mechling tasted it, he knew the description wasn’t an exaggeration.

Got a late start this season on my little deck garden here in Chicago, but everything is looking great regardless! This is only my second year of deck gardening this year is looking much better than last.

Its amazing what you can still manage to grow in a small space. Things I have growing:

  • Sunflower(front center)
  • Cat grass (bottom right)
  • Orange hat tomatoes (in the pot on the banister to the right )
  • String beans (windowsill on the left)
  • Cucumbers (vertical)
  • Cauliflower(vertical)
  • Nasturtiums(vertical)
  • A few different tomatoes(vertical)
  • Mini bell peppers (vertical)
  • Catnip(vertical)

My 9 year old Snowshoe, Izzy, we got her in January 2020 before the world went to shit and the timing could not have been better. She currently lives with us in Chicago but we got her from a cat cafe in Milwaukee, Sip & Purr.
