All eyes are on Chicago this week, and I couldn’t be prouder of our entire team!

As a long-time resident of the Near West Side/West Loop (since I first moved to the U.S. almost ten years ago) and Director of Content at Ateema Media & Marketing I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the Democratic National Convention, the Chicago 2024 Host Committee and the West Central Association on a brand new neighborhood map of the Near West Side.

This project includes two print editions and one digital edition, showcasing dozens of fantastic local businesses with easy-to-follow directions.

Link to the digital map in comments, the print maps are available at your favorite hotel.

I want to dedicate this map to our late cartographer, Dennis McClendon, who sadly passed away on August 7th. Dennis was an amazing tour guide and human being, full of knowledge and kindness. He had been making maps for Ateema since long before I joined the team. May he Rest in Peace.

Chicago is een fantastische stad die prima op eigen houtje is te verkennen, maar nóg leuker is een tour met een local. Harmke maakte met de van origine Vlaamse gids Leentje een wandeling door de booming West Loop.
