Amanda Vinicky is live from Garfield Ridge, as part of our community reporting series.
On Chicago’s Southwest Side, Garfield Ridge is home to Midway Airport. It has a significant first responder population and many senior citizens. We talked with community leaders about COVID-19’s health and economic impact as the delta variant increases concerns — and we talked to one organization using wrestling to empower youth.
