- We're sad to see RedEye Chicago lose their awesome social media lady, Jessica Galliart, but wish Jessica good luck at her new gig. Before departing, she wrote an insightful piece about her time and work at the RedEye, which includes some real gems that we should all take to heart when it comes to social media. Thanks for the great work Jessica and hope we'll still see you at the big annual RedEye/Do312/Chicagoist snowball fight! [RedEye Chicago]
