4060 S. Pulsaski

The story of Chicago— a place of casual corruption and intense love, of vicious violence and purifying grace, can be told in a single address in the southwest portion of the city. Through data, documents, and public narratives, 4060 S. Pulaski tells this sprawling story while standing still. From the outrageous video of police killing of a black boy, to the naked aggression of an alderman extorting a business owner over a building permit, to the crushing daily life of people who make and eat fast food, 4060 South Pulaski is the place where mayors were vanquished and made, where the last 50 years of Chicago can be understood.
