I read this Chicago blog for its snarky political commentary, suggestions on where to spend my time and money, concert features, goofy videos and photographs, restaurant reviews, reflections about the day’s weather, CTA updates, and sports news, among many other topics. The articles use a first-person plural point of view (“we”) and refer to the writer as “Chicagoist,” which creates a communal and strangely omniscient tone to the blog. The entries tend to be short, succinct, and informative but not journalistic, offering a gossipy snapshot of life in Chicago.
