Social media gives us many ways to communicate with people. But between the algorithms that are designed to keep us scrolling, the endless focus on negativity and the constant advertisements, how often does it actually help us get to know the people around us?
We believe that Chicagoland deserves an online space that is different…
Introducing chicago.com communities: free, local spaces to meet your neighbors, ask questions and discover what's happening close to home–moderated by a real-life, locally-rooted steward to keep the conversation positive and flowing.
On chicago.com you can find a local event, get a tip from someone down the block and make a connection with someone new. Then log off and live your life (no doomscrolling here!).
We’re starting with five pilot communities in Avondale, Bronzeville, Edgewater & Andersonville, Evanston and South Shore with local stewards helping to keep the space welcoming.
If you live in one of these communities, join the party! And if you’re not, you can join the waitlist. Happy connecting!

Windows down. Music blasting. Lake Shore Drive on a warm summer night...
Sometimes the best parts of Chicago aren’t an event or a destination, they’re the moments that make you stop and appreciate the city you call home.
Chicago.com is coming this fall, celebrating the people, places and experiences that make Chicago, Chicago.
Being a Chicagoan means knowing the things nobody has to explain.
You know what the L is. You know there’s more to pizza than just deep dish. And somewhere along the way you learn the little details, the language and traditions that make this city feel like home.
Chicago.com is coming this fall and it's designed for and with Chicago. Start exploring, and let us know what would help you feel more connected to your city by joining our email list at chicago.com

We’re in the news!
Nieman Lab took a closer look at what we’re building with Chicago.com and our partnership with New_ Public and Roundabout. We’re creating a new kind of digital community space designed to help Chicagoans connect with their neighborhoods, find useful local information and build stronger connections with one another.
This fall, we’ll begin with five neighborhood communities. We’re excited to keep building, experimenting and imagining what a truly Chicago centered digital community can look like.

Big news for chicago.com
This fall, Chicago.com is teaming up with Roundabout to make it easier for Chicagoans to connect.
Our goal is simple: create online spaces where Chicagoans can share useful information, meet their neighbors, and have real conversations without all the noise that comes with traditional social media.
It’s one more way we’re building chicago.com to be a place you can actually use every day to discover, discuss, and enjoy your city.
What makes a Chicago summer special? For Matthew, it’s the festivals.
From Jazz Fest and Blues Fest to neighborhood celebrations across the city, Chicago’s festivals bring people together, even when the music, food or culture is completely new to them.
This fall, chicago.com will help you discover more of the people, places and experiences that make this city unlike anywhere else.

chicago.com is built by the public, for the public. We're funded by our members at Chicago Public Media and rooted in trusted organizations: The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ, institutions Chicagoans have relied on for generations.

We love this city. Every neighborhood, every block. But there’s a lot going on, and our neighborhoods can feel increasingly fractured.
chicago.com will be a space to make sense of it all, bringing together trusted local information, community knowledge, civic and cultural resources and new opportunities for participation. Start exploring chicago.com and let us know what you want to see.

Technology that arrived with a promise to amplify our voices often leaves us feeling disconnected from one another. It’s time to change that. It’s time for us to rebuild our city for one another – and for ourselves.
Join us in reconnecting with what really matters. Go to chicago.com to get involved.
Introducing chicago.com! The next chapter for Chicago Public Media (WBEZ, The Chicago Sun-Times, Vocalo), chicago.com will be a shared space for conversation, connection and community to help you navigate the city alongside your neighbors.
What you see on the site is just the beginning. We’re going live with the full chicago.com experience this fall, but first we want to hear from you.
