When I lived in Pullman, I quickly fell in love with it

A block of homes in Pullman. The Far South Side neighborhood is the type of place where strangers would invite you for a cup of coffee on their porch, Natalie Moore writes. (Apple Maps screenshot.)

For more than a year, my family lived in the Pullman neighborhood. I want to add a star to my own personal Chicago flag for the adventure.

We had rented in Hyde Park for several years, but bought a single-family home elsewhere on the South Side that needed bank-approved renovations. To downsize during this interlude, we moved into a furnished Pullman row house in February 2022.
