Oddusee Chicago is a city guide built around Black-owned business. Every restaurant, salon, barbershop, bar, food truck and shop in this directory is listed because it is Black-owned, and Black-owned businesses come first in every category, map and search result on this site.
The directory carries more than 270 listings across the city and the south suburbs — restaurants, hair salons, bars, real estate, food trucks, coffee and juice, beauty supply, cosmetics and fitness — plus the historic sites and museums that hold Chicago's Black history, from Bronzeville's Black Metropolis on out. Coverage reaches Evanston, Oak Park, Maywood, Harvey, Markham, Matteson, South Holland, Dolton, Calumet City and the rest of the south suburbs.
The politics section names more than 170 elected officials who represent Chicago and Cook County, from City Hall to the Illinois delegation.
Listings are added and kept current by hand. A business owner can be added to the guide by using the Get Listed form on the site.
