It's time for Curious City, our news gathering experiment where you decide what stories WBEZ should report.

If you haven't heard of Curious City, here's how it works.

You submit questions about Chicago, the region, or its people, vote on your favorites, and reporters and producers answer them,

often with you along for the ride.

We'll be delivering stories every week, on

air and online. And if you're already a fan, you'll notice even more opportunities to get

involved. Like when we tried to settle an argument that Chicagoan Devon Neff started with a friend.

You really don't come across many people that are undecided. Like, they are really die hard one or the other.

Could Curiosity and some crack reporting get Devin and his friend to budge? That's coming right up on

Curious City. I'm Sean Ali, editor for Curious City, WBEZ's News Gathering Experiment. I'd like to invite you to join me, host Laura Washington, and our friends at the Illinois Humanities Council for what we call the Raw Report. We'll deconstruct the journalistic process with a panel of experts, teams of youth reporters, and you. Come see how the media we consume each day gets made. The Raw Report is on Thursday evening, February 6th.

Hi again.

I'm Curious City senior producer Jennifer Brandel.

And people like you have been sending Curious City plenty of questions, some of which have no right or wrong answer.

I love these questions, and this one in particular.

Our story begins, like so many great stories do, with a bar fight.

We argued about everything.

I got way up on my sassy horse.

Way up. I can't believe we my sassy horse. Way up.

I can't believe we're still friends.

Wow.

Those two brawlers are Devin Neff and Abbey Risto.
