I’m Your Cool Auntie in Chicago…

Neighborhood guides, hidden gems, and small adventures

I’m Becky and I love Chicago.

That’s pretty much the whole gig. I started posting content because I wanted to show everyone how amazing living in Chicago is. An evening walk to the lake with a cookie from a local bakery. An afternoon spent exploring a neighborhood where you stumble almost accidentally into the best tacos of your life. Diving into thrift stores and streets full of vintage shops. Taking the CTA everywhere. Looking beyond whatever is trendy (but also enjoying the trends sometimes!) and the tourist checklists to show that Chicago is deeper and richer than a deep dish pizza.

Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or you’re just visiting, consider me your guide to the parts of Chicago that make it feel like home.
