Neighborhood news outlet, Block Club Chicago, stopped out to the Goodwill Store & Donation Center on Grand Avenue in Chicago for a conversation with local content creator, Gregory (@uncle.greg.be.stitchin). Host Jon Hansen dove into Gregory’s Chicago roots, relationship with thrifting and the creative path that led him to sewing, quilting and making some very great things out of some good thrift finds.
