About Us
We are a small team. Most of us attend various Chicago-area colleges in addition to our regular jobs. This is why we do not have weekly updates.

If you are interested in contributing in any way, be it with research, information, photographs - anything - please contact us.

Serhii Chrucky designed this website, and does editing and layout. He also does most of the photography, and writes when it strikes him.
