Jessica and baby Charlotte shared one of the sweetest moments at Al Quiroz’s 90th birthday celebration. With her adorable blonde curls, yellow bow, and curious smile, Charlotte charmed everyone. Seeing generations of family together made this milestone even more special.
Former Pullman worker Al Quiroz shared how he drilled a symbol into train walls for luck, reflecting the pride behind the craftsmanship. He was interviewed by @ABC7Chicago @jasmineminortv about his career and being one of the last workers still living in Pullman. Airs tonight.
My dad Felix Quiroz is featured at the National Museum of Mexican Art, with a glimpse in a @fox32news segment. My brother Ray and I later worked at Pullman Standard, and this exhibit helps connect our family’s railroad story across generations. youtu.be/MHIrnlZskBI
This cotton twill apron, once owned by my father-in-law Charlie Gartelmann, was made from the same fabric used on Pullman sleeper car mattresses in the 1930s. It’s now on display at the @ChicagoMuseum #AquíenChicago exhibit through Nov 2026.
The keys I once used to open train car doors at Pullman Standard are now on exhibit at the @ChicagoMuseum. These — along with hundreds of other objects and photos — are part of a new exhibition, #AquíenChicago, celebrating the stories & contributions of Latinos across the city.
I’ve held on to these Pullman artifacts for decades, and it’s an honor to see them featured in the @ChicagoMuseum’s new exhibit #AquíenChicago, celebrating the rich history and contributions of Latinos in the city. #Latino #Chicago
.@TIA_EWING of @fox32news covered the new @ChicagoMuseum exhibit #AquíEnChicago, featuring three items I used while working at the Pullman Company. The exhibit opens to the public this Sunday, October 25. #Latino
For years at Pullman Standard, I carried this metal Victory lunch box with a ham sandwich, coffee, and a banana. It’s now featured in Aquí En Chicago at the @ChicagoMuseum, honoring Latino stories and contributions to our city. #AquíEnChicago

Here’s an interesting poll: I love cats—but not in neighborhood stores. Should Bodega Cats be allowed to roam shops, or is that crossing the line? Cast your vote! 🐱🛒
On @WBAI’s @AnimalMattersNY at 9 AM Sunday, @cmenchaca & I discuss whether bodega cats should be legal in NYS. Weigh in so we can share the results on air.
Today’s Chicago Tribune highlights how Pullman neighbors are uniting to save the Greenstone Church, which has gone over 2 years without heat due to unpaid gas bills. It’s time to fix this—please give what you can: gofund.me/0ef13f29
Neighbors have raised $20,000 to reopen Greenstone Church in Pullman, which has been shuttered for years because of unpaid bills. trib.al/5DTcpBF
I was born and raised in Pullman and proud of it—the trains, the architecture, and especially the people. Right now, Greenstone Church needs urgent help. The community’s raised $20K and is 75% to the goal. @Pres_Chicago Let’s pitch in and finish strong: gofund.me/0ef13f29
@ABC7 spotlighted our campaign to restore gas service to Greenstone Church! We’re almost 75% funded—help us reach the finish line. A $10 or $20 gift keeps this landmark open year-round. Every dollar makes a difference. @UMNS @Pres_Chicago Donate: gofund.me/0ef13f29
