    “I truly wanted to just keyboard smash while typing this because that's the only way to express how precious and wonderful this experience is! Getting to play with and pet the kitties while their new forever home people came to pick them up was delightful. Very healing and soothing, and fun to meet the other folks who made reservations for the same hour. Everything was so clean and pristine, and the cats are clearly well cared for and adored by the staff. 1000/10, this is a uniquely lovely place to stop by for cat enjoyers and people looking to adopt or donate to a good cause. *Edited to add some photos of a few of the kitties”

    “Heavenly experience! Where do I begin? The class teacher, Sue, is a thought provoking mentor. She is the Tim Gunn of the Chicago Mosaic School, and I mean this in the highest regard possible. Taking a class in this space is the equivalent of being in “The Chocolate Factory”. (Come with me, and you’ll see, a world of true imagination). A color prism of glass sheets. Milky Italian smalti. All shapes, sizes, and textures of slates, stones and beach pebbles. All the doodads one could imagine! The location to CTA transport is ideal. Also, there are multiple food spots within a block of the studio. I flew into OHare airport, and took the L train Blue line to bus 152, which dropped me off a block from my accommodations. It cost me 25$ to get around the city for 7 days (I purchased the weekly pass on my first trip into the city). I stayed at the Wrigley Hostel, which is a block off the Addison redline. Great price for a secure location, and ideal for me since I spent most of my time at class anyway, and just needed a place to rest my head at night. Also some great food nearby (Cozy Noodle is about 5 houses down). 10/10 experience! I am already browsing the website for my next class! Thank you for everything, and special gratitude to Sue- I appreciate you! Below are the two pieces I made in my 2.5 day mosaic 1 intensive.”

    “After 5:00 summer series Wednesday wine down:I recently visited Little Black Pearl, and I have to say the energy when I walked in was great. I was surrounded by such positive, welcoming people of all ages. Throughout the night, we sang karaoke, played cards, shot pool and listened to good music. What really stood out to me was how safe, inclusive, and comfortable the environment felt. Everyone was so kind and genuine. But what truly touched my heart was how the community embraced my brother, who is special needs. There was no judgment only acceptance, laughter, and open arms. For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like I had to be on guard, watching to make sure he was being treated with respect because everyone just welcomed. It was a relaxing night filled with connection and joy. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, warm, and safe space. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience.”

    “I’ve been volunteering for A Just Harvest in the Evanston community for 2 almost 3 years and have found a second home here. Getting to meet and build relationships with the other volunteers as well as the pantry workers and community members has truly been a life changing experience I’ll treasure always. Working full time as an educator has briefly taken me away from volunteering but I hope to continue doing work with AJH for many years to come. Much love to Mama T., Ruben, John, Mary, Yoyo, and everyone else at the kitchen!”
