WARD12· MCKINLEY PARK
Ald. Julia Ramirez answers for this corner.
Ward 12’s record: unwritten. No clock has ever run here. You’d be its first name.
Desks and ward lines come straight from the live City Council roster — any ZIP in Chicago; street corners are coming. Free · non-partisan · run out of Chicago.
The whole machine
Notice. A photo starts the record.
Talk. The block hashes out what it wants.
Ask. AI drafts; neighbors own every word.
Desk. Delivered, time-stamped, by name.
Clock. Day N of 60, in public.
Record. Answers and silence both land — forever. The flag's fourth star — the answer — gets inked the day the first one lands.
The flag so far
Chicago earned its stars one at a time. So does this flag.
