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?
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.

Para el barrio. Siempre.
Writing to ask how safe Pilsen is for a young woman living alone. Have spent time with several friends in that area and felt very safe, but don’t know if it’s different living alone or as a woman. Any with experience or advice?
Near the intersection of Blue Island Ave and 18th in particular. I will also have a car if that matters but thought I would mention it in case that’s relevant.
Does anyone know if it's been closed permanently? I've been in the mood for them lately but they've been closed for like, a week or so straight.
Hey, saw this fellow looking for food in the trash on 17th st, didn't have anyone with him and seemed a little skittish. He started running away when I tried to go downstairs, so this is the best picture that I could get :(
I found this cat, Bruiser, by an alley of Cullerton and Ashland. I sent a message and call thru the Tile QR (looks a bit worn and dirty so perhaps he’s been outside for awhile?) and the phone number just now and waiting for a response, but does anyone recognize this cat? Is it an outdoor cat or lost? Gave him food and water as he looked a bit skinny and fur a bit dirty and matted
I recently moved from out of state and am looking for a house cleaner to come ~2x a month. If anyone has any references or suggestions for local people or companies they are willing to share, I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations!
