Meet Our Readers: Paul Dailing

Paul Dailing is the creator of 1,001 Chicago Afternoons, a website telling new, true stories of Chicago and real Chicagoans three times a week until he hits 1,001 stories. The project won a Peter Lisagor Award for Exemplary Journalism from the Chicago Headline Club in 2013 and will be featured in the upcoming "Chicago Authored" exhibition at the Chicago History Museum. He co-hosts the Welcome to the Neighborhood illustrated reading series, last seen at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. He teaches journalism part-time at Loyola, once found a triceratops femur and is working on a history of the South Chicago steel mills. Buy him a torta.

Please join Paul and all our amazing readers on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, upstairs at Hopleaf at 7:30 pm. This 21-and-older event is free.
