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.”

Sacramento Ave Part Two
McDonalds, 3200 W Roosevelt Rd, Chicago, IL, USI can find no interesting facts and figures about Sacramento Ave. Other than it manifests itself into Humboldt Blvd for a minute, then simmers down and gets back to being Sacramento Ave.
We have another opportunity at the end of the walk to go take a peak at Mount Trashmore. (Many of us were just *done* at the end of Kedzie, so didn't make it, and we may well be *done* at the end of Sacramento.)
Considering lunch at Chief O'Neill's Pub around the 6 mile mark.
Here is the 12 mile route: https://www.mapmywalk.com/routes/view/6649019747/
