What we’re about
This group celebrates the birthdays of the inspirations for Chicago’s great streets, by walking the entire length of each street. The streets serve as a narrative thread weaving together disparate communities, industrial remnants and new developments, history and mystery. As of August 2019 we have crossed Chicago for 70 consecutive months, covering streets such as Belmont (11 miles), Lincoln (7 miles), King Drive (12 miles), Lake Street (8 miles), and Western Avenue (24 miles). Walks feature numerous stops at interesting locations on the way, generally chosen “on the spur.”

A route and more info to come.
I have put a cap on this walk, as leading a large group of people in the dark is challenging. Please be a decent human and only RSVP yes if you are 99.9% sure you will be able to make it. If you RSVP yes and discover you cannot make it, change your RSVP immediately to allow someone on the waitlist to take your spot.
