Monday Dec 28, 2020
Hey Everyone!
It's Episode 17 of NaPodPoMo 2020.
On this mile of our journey, I talk about the vast community area of the Near West Side, which encompasses a number of Chicago neighborhoods and attractions.
This is mile #15 of our exploration of the longest street in Chicago, Western Ave, which spans 24 miles right through the city. We'll be taking the rest of 2020 to "Stroll down Western Ave." as part of the National Podcasting Post Month. We didn't finish in November, but the party don't stop!
Make sure you have your phone handy as you listen, it will make things so much better. Trust me!
