Dinner/drink options after the walk:

Mystic Rogue Irish Pub - 6070 N Northwest Hwy

Sapori Napoletani Pizzeria - 6050 N Northwest Hwy

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.

Bryn Mawr is a welsh phrase meaning Big Hill and the most famous Bryn Mawr in the country is liberal arts college in Pennsylvania.

For this walk we will meet at the Starbucks inside the Renaissance Chicago O'Hare Suites. We will walk west a couple of blocks to get to East River Road and then begin our walk east to Lake Michigan.

We will have to make a couple of detours because Bryn Mawr is broken up the Kennedy, Edens, and Rosehill Cemetery.

We will walk through the neighborhoods of Norwood Park, Jefferson Park, Forest Glen, North Park, Peterson Park, Arcadia Terrace, West Ridge, Andersonville, and Edgewater.

How do we get there.

Take the Blue Line to the Cumberland Station, exit on the south side, walk to Cumberland and turn onto Bryn Mawr. The Renaissance Hotel is set back a bit but it is a very large building and is signed. You can also follow the signs for Starbucks. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cumberland+Blue+Line+Station,+Chicago,+IL/Renaissance+Chicago+O'Hare+Suites+Hotel,+8500+W+Bryn+Mawr+Ave,+Chicago,+IL+60631/@41.9813952,-87.8413227,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4...
