As we shift our gaze toward what Chicago could look like when the “stay-at-home” order is lifted, we can’t help but recognize the tough spot that many local businesses will be in for months to come. That’s why we’re launching Love Local, a campaign that lends our voice to crucial causes around the globe, including Comp Tab Relief Fund here in Chicago, which benefits out-of-work hospitality professionals.

No matter who you are or where you're from, we can all agree on one thing: Potholes suck. For the past seven years, Chicago artist Jim Bachor has been filling street cavities with colorful mosaic masterpieces that depict everything from ice cream cones and Chicago-style hot dogs to bunches of flowers. This year, he’s looking to lockdown life for inspiration, resulting in his latest series that showcases toilet paper, hand sanitizer and a can of Old Style—the ultimate sign of the times.
Check out Bachor’s street art or go looking for it yourself on your next neighborhood stroll (just be sure to mask up first!).
