11 - Chicago Police Department

Meet Sherry, a Chicago Police Officer who has been serving and protecting you for over two decades. In this crime busting episode, Officer Sherry brings the Your Chicago crew Huck Finn donuts that are so good they should be illegal and talks about life as a city cop - from police academy to fugitive takedowns to radio lingo to parking tickets. We partake in a truly epic Listen Up Chicago, challenge Officer Sherry to a murderously fun round of This Day in Chicago and get let in on two great Chicago secrets: Riggio's and Half Shell. Basically, this is such a great episode, it would be a felony to miss it.

10 - Sonia Lala Photography

Meet Sonia Lala, a Chicago photographer whose work you've probably seen in a coffee shop near you. In this exciting 10th episode, Scott and Arden celebrate hitting the double digits by chatting with one of the fabulous artists who brighten the walls of your local cafe and getting her to share the details on urban decay, silos in the city, f-stops and Chicago exploration meetups. And as if that weren't enough, we also solve the dog waste problem (hint: it involves vigilantes, tazers and DNA testing) and get the details on two gems of the city: Udupi Palace and Lincoln Karaoke.
