- Our pals at Gapers Block are running a contest involving photographing your neighborhood landmark. The GB kids are also throwing a party this Friday in honor of their seventh anniversary.
Speaking of anniversaries, last week marked our sixth anniversary blogging all there is to write to about this amazing city we call "home" (no matter where we originated from). We celebrated quietly in the Chicagoist office (if you call four kegs and a petting zoo "quiet") but plan on bringing the anniversary fun to you soon (so keep your eyes peeled). Thanks for making us part of your routine for the last six years and we look forward to tons more fun in the future.
