Lake Street Walk

For April we will walk 8.6 miles across Lake Street. We'll meet at the New Sound Cafe at 5958 W Lake St, Chicago, IL 60644.

The meeting spot is two doors east of N Austin Blvd., the western boundary between Oak Park and the City of Chicago at this latitude. From the starting point in the Austin neighborhood, the walk is a straight route through Garfield, West Loop, and the Loop, and ends at the lake.
