I'm working on FreeInChicago, a site for finding all the free activities to do in the city.

I love Chicago and the incredible wealth of free festivals, museums, public art, music, parks, workshops, and so many more activities available to appreciate. I've found there isn't a good way to discover them though so I'm building the tool that I've always wanted. Right now I have a landing page up, have done some work on sourcing data, and I'm working towards defining a discovery interface.

My city used to have a similar site. It was great. Got an hour to kill? Check the site, find a nearby bar with live music and head on over.

It ultimately got shut down because no one wanted to pay for it, and people started posting spam instead of activities.
