Ep. 6: Living in Lincoln Square, the local music scene, the Green Mill history and more feat. Chris Anderson‪!‬ Living In Chicago

    • Places & Travel

Chris Anderson, a mainstay in Chicago's jazz and blues scene, shares stories on living in Lincoln Square, managing the renowned Green Mill, his unique experiences in the city's music culture, the evolution of neighborhoods like Uptown, challenges and benefits of city life, and his personal journey in the vibrant local scene. Dive into a conversation full of insights about life in Chicago, its rich musical heritage, and the dynamic shifts in its entertainment landscape.
The Living in Chicago Podcast is where I, Jake Lyons, get to interview all kinds of people about the Chicago neighborhoods they live in, work in, and play in. This way, you can learn about the lifestyle pros and cons of various neighborhoods directly from the people who live there (or maybe even learn something new about your own neighborhood!)
