Our coverage focuses exclusively on Chicago's official McKinley Park Community Area and adjacent industrial districts. We cover the area between the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal on the north, the South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River (aka "Bubbly Creek") on the east, the Norfolk Southern Ashland Yard rail depot on the south, and the CSX railroad tracks and viaduct on the west.

The McKinley Park News is independently owned and operated by longtime neighborhood residents and stakeholders, building on decades of professional journalism experience in Chicago's news industry. As a start-up enterprise, our goal is to sustain the livelihood of a local news business by providing a vital neighborhood news source for readers like you.
