I just LOVE this! I lived on the Southside (69th & Bushop) til age 10, 1948-1958 and have so many fond memories of my life and family memories there. No one hears about the great neighborhood culture that evolved there. Thanks sharing your passion.

Dilla is so awesome. I've learned a ton from him and his tik toks . The Kelly Clarkson show is great for shining the spot light on him and Chicago

"Everything in Chicago is mind-blowing." He is a one-stop Chicago marketing agency. Definitely needs to be a part of the tourism board and compensated.

Dilla is great. I'm a south side Chicagoan, and not enough positive stories come out about that part of the city. He has a Phenomenal interview on the barstool Chicago channel as well

Why was there a pole in the hay loft of that first fire station?
