Neighbors applaud first responders in downtown Chicago; DJ spins tracks from West Loop balcony
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago residents are uniting to show their appreciation of those working on the front lines to fight COVID-19 over the weekend.
South Loop neighbors cheered for first responders from the windows of their homes in downtown Chicago Saturday at 8 p.m.
The movement, known as Chicago Unite At Night, coordinates a singalong, followed by a cheer and applause, every night.
"It's just very reflective and it's a little bit of an escape for everyone who's here and doing this all together in unity," said Laarni Livings, who organized the event.

Meanwhile, a local DJ is also trying to bring some positive energy during the COVID-19 crisis. DJ Quantify said he's on a mission to dance away the blues of the pandemic.
His balcony DJ skills have become a fan favorite for his neighbors in the West Loop.
He's also streaming his DJ set on Facebook Live so everyone out there can bust a move.
DJ Quantify said he wants people to stay safe during this time, but also hopes he can provide some fun in the process.
