Fewer fireworks in Pilsen?

I lived in University Village for almost 16 years in a unit hanging over the tracks in one of those cream-colored concrete buildings between Morgan and Peoria. Now I live on the corner of Halsted and 16th. I feel like fireworks were (for a long time) a fairly regular occurrence in Pilsen, but it feels like I've barely heard or seen any over the last 2-3 years...aside from the 4th of July?

Am I crazy, or have the number of fireworks throughout the summer decreased (I realize it's still early in the season)

Dancing to Electro in Pilsen?

Hi,
my friends and I are planning to go to Pilsen this weekend.
We’d like to go dancing at an electronic music club or an electronic music venue (any kind will do).

Are there any clubs in Pilsen that play electronic music all the time, or do you know of any events happening this Friday, May 22?

Greetings
Frank

Lost cat in pilsen!

Just posting this here!

My dad's cat, Mr. Grey got lost near W 17th and S Laflin. My dad has been walking around, and yesterday me and my siblings spent 3hrs walking around nearby alleys to find him in the afternoon and later last night.

He used to be my mom's cat, so he has a microchip but the number on file might be outdated so she is going to go back to where she adopted him soon.

Only a couple of days until the deadline for Congress. Does Byron Lopez make the ballot?

He told Sophia from Politico he would have over 10,000 signatures. will he get them? If he does and Mayra does, does he have a chance? Do we actually have a chance to get rid of him once and for all? No UFC adjacent comments. Everyone knows you are the Pilsen Defense guy who set up not for profits to profit off of the Trump administration.

Honda owners be careful

Saw 4 Hondas that look to be around the same year/model with broken driver side windows on one block. They were all parked on S Allport Street by St. Procopius church. I’m not sure if this is the new targeted car in the city but everyone be cautious and install dash cams

Loud Explosion sound..?

Anyone know what that REALLY loud explosion sound was at about 8:10pm today? I’ve lived here (near Damen and Cermak) for 6 years and have NEVER heard a sound that loud before. Definitely not fireworks or gunshots.

It’s back! No adoption fees event at Chicago Animal Care & Control this Saturday 5/16! (I’m a volunteer)

The vast majority of dogs are medium and large, 35 lbs+ and up and are pitties, cane corso, german shepherds, shepherd mixes, and lab mixes. If these kinds of dogs aren’t for you, that’s OK.

I adopted my pitbull from CACC and she’s the love of my life. These dogs are overbred, overlooked, and it’s time to change the narrative.

I asked about a recent shooting and moderators removed it. Why?

We can't talk about crime in our community?? Someone was shot eight times. That's crazy.

Gym Recs

Hi All,

Moving to Pilsen area at the end of the month.

Was looking into Pilsen Gym. Seeing mixed reviews on treatment of goers.

I am hoping for a place that has ample barbell racks for basic lifts.

Also do not have a car.

If not Pilsen Gym, any other recs?

Pilsen's Own just dropped a teaser — Emerg bringing Latin hip-hop home with debut album "Wicked Since 93" 🇲🇽🎤

What's good r/pilsen —

Wanted to share something that's been in the works for a while, and feels right to bring to this community first.

Emerg is a Chicago MC born and raised right here in Pilsen. Born in 1993 — the same year Wicked Entertainment Network launched out of the city with nothing but $1,500 and a vision — his whole story is tied to this neighborhood. The murals, the music, the culture, the block. All of it.

His debut album Wicked Since 93 drops July 1st. It's a full Chicano rap / Latin hip-hop project produced by Marcos Martinez and Dave Dillion of Crook County — the production duo from Little Village widely credited with putting LV on the hip-hop map. Two neighborhoods, one record.

This is where it belongs first. Before the press, before the playlists — Pilsen gets it first.
