What does it mean to be part of the fabric of a neighborhood?

It means a friendly wave to the local barber, an order off the menu, and a steady spot on the coffee shop patio.

We set out to provide the ultimate connection to local in Chicago’s Uptown Community.

North Magazine is a groundbreaking guide to the surrounding area—fostering a sense of place for apartment residents—and turning transient residents into long-term community members.

Issue 01

Issue 01 of North Magazine — a FLATS® publication — was defined by the Northside of Chicago — Uptown, Edgewater, Andersonville, Ravenswood and Buena Park — where FLATS buildings were. The issue was for those folks coming from the Northside, on the Northside, going to the Northside or simply facing North as leasing tool to drive hungry residents to FLATS buildings. Issue 01 was distributed throughout every FLATS building/unit as well as over one-hundred stockists on the Northside of Chicago.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
