Another wonderful small business just joined ChiLocal 😮
specializes in minimalist style maps of public transportation systems and city grids. The business was born out of the desire to create the ‘perfect’ transit map.

The owner, Jenn, works as an urban planner, so making maps quickly went from a hobby to a business. Jenn loves spreading the love for maps and minimalist design through her work! ThisCityMaps represents over 50 cities with designs of city maps, neighborhood maps, and transit maps.

Meet another amazing local Chicago business that you can already find on our platform - Wolfbait & B-girls, a female-owned and operated store in Logan Square. It's treasure trove of handmade apparel, accessories, art, and gifts, featuring over 300 local artisans.

👀Are you wondering about the meaning of their name? The name Wolfbait & B-girls is a nod to historic Chicago. The 1930’s guidebook Chicago Confidential defines Wolfbait as girls who moved to the city looking for success and how easy they were to be preyed upon; and B-girls as what they sometimes turn into. Think B-movie, B-side, bad girl, Bruiser and Brazen judy. We have chosen to take this derogatory historic terminology and reframe it as what women are capable of in business, and in life.

Next time you are in Logan Square, make sure to stop by!
