ABOUT THIS EVENT
Get in the driver seat with Nestor “The Boss” Gomez and hear stories about Chicago from the point of view of a former undocumented immigrant learning to navigate the streets and interact with the many residents from his adoptive city.
In Your Driver Has Arrived, Nestor "The Boss" Gomez shares his rideshare driver journey through the Chicago neighborhoods of Rogers Park and Hyde Park, from the shores of the Lake Michigan to the terminals at O'Hare. Meet characters like the old lady wanting to jump through time and traffic, NPR aficionados, sparing love birds, privileged bros wanting to be seen as thugs, drunks and outspoken political zealots.
