We have a new local Tumblr site. Slightly Insulting Chicago Posters is a warped twist on Chicago neighborhoods by RC Jones, Jeni Brendemuehl and Lauren Schroer that has a little bit of fun with the perception, and reality, of Our Town's hoods. We think they got Wicker Park down pat, don't you?

Other posters as part of the site include Hyde Park ("peaceful and pretty, you'll think you died and went to the North Side"), Goose Island ("The perfect island getaway for people who love concrete and steel") and—our personal favorite—Uptown (Roaring Twenties charm meets psych ward with no walls").

More are coming.
