Keeping the Puerto Rican Culture Alive in Hermosa and Humboldt Park

Humboldt Park is the center of Chicago’s Puerto Rican community. But that pride extends to other neighborhoods, like Hermosa, a little northwest of Humboldt. Last month, City Cast Chicago lead producer Carrie Shepherd took a tour of both neighborhoods with Joshua Smyser-DeLeon, host of Paseo Podcast, which highlights stories by, from, and about the Puerto Rican community.
