Chicago corridors
The shops can serve the block. Reaching it is the hard part.
Chicago Rising Heart keeps one list for Devon Avenue, Argyle Street, and Chinatown. A person joins for their street. You approve a message for a business or an event, then forward it on WhatsApp, text, or email from your own phone. A shop never receives the number.

1
They agree
Someone joins at the street page, or you add them after they say yes. A receipt, a group chat, or a bought list does not belong.
2
You approve the words
Pick a business or an event, or type another name. The draft has to include STOP. Ten percent are held back when the channel is large enough to measure.
3
You forward it
Each button opens WhatsApp, Messages, or Mail with the text filled in. You press send. Chicago Rising Heart does not deliver the message.
What this site does today
- The street form and the desk share one list, saved on the server, so a signup on a phone shows up on a laptop.
- Approved forwards are kept on the desk, with who would have received them and who was held back.
- Quiet hours are 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Chicago time. The buttons stay closed inside that window.
- The shop screens under Shop preview are still a sample for one fictional sweet shop. The register is not connected.
