McLean Family

The McLean family enjoying the weather in front of their home during shelter in place.

Once homeschooling and working from home have wrapped up, they enjoy long walks with their dogs, Daisy and Ernie. They enjoy a long game of Monopoly as well. Quarantine has given Jeremy the extra time to get his 1981 DeLorean up and running. He is also building furniture for his family and friends. Adrianna spends most of her time nurturing her plant collection and reading. Always a child that has a creative mind, Paloma has created a town with figures made of clay. She also enjoys Face Timing with her friends, playing Minecraft, and reading “Babysitters Club.” Although their new normal is not ideal and ever changing they are trying to make the best and keeping busy. 

Jeremy, Adrianna, and their daughter Paloma are learning to enjoy the calmness of their new normal.

Jeremy is the reason I had the opportunity to be on the radio. Jeremy and I started a job together at the same time. Knowing that I was part of the Chicago music scene, he asked me to come on the radio show and guess DJ with him. I told him no. He kept bugging me all day about it. After thinking about it, I said maybe I should start saying yes to things again.

I have now been doing Radio One Chicago for 14 years. if it weren’t for Jeremy, I would have never been exposed to all the amazing people within the Chicago art scene. I’m so appreciative of the opportunity he handed to me.

Seeing him after over a year was just an amazing experience. We had a chance to catch up and talk about everything that has been going on. I also got to see his own personal project that he has been working on! He is nearing the end of finishing his all electric DeLorean car!!
