Chicago's Very Own features a variety of people, places and things indigenous to Chicago.

We profile regular, everyday people who have interesting, unique or inspiring stories to tell. We visit some of the most interesting places the city and the community has to offer. We meet people who are living life to the fullest or quietly working to make life better for someone else. We visit groups, organizations, businesses and neighborhoods that are interesting, fun, wild, or rich in history.
