AUBURN GRESHAM
2016Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods are often lumped together as one big homogenous place. But the South Side is a patchwork of distinct neighborhoods, filled with the kinds of characters and day-to-day stories that don’t always make headlines. Over a six-month period in 2011, I followed five people in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood: a high school student, a fitness club owner, a House music legend, a 20-something journalist, and an elderly disabled artist.
