Full Description

Chicago is the City of the Big Shoulders. What started off as a small, fur-trading settlement is today a bustling metropolis. Chicago’s colorful past remains hidden in the nooks and crannies across this wonderful, modern city.

This fully updated edition reveals compelling secrets in places that even native Chicagoans may not know. It invites locals and experienced travelers to explore the Windy City through its people, its history, and its stories.

Adventures await you, from the glamorous to the gritty. Sip cocktails atop an iconic building with sweeping city views, or paddle a kayak down the infamous Bubbly Creek of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Snorkel a 32-acre, limestone sheet shoal, one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the Midwest. Or purchase a ten-gallon cowboy hat and take a ride a mechanical pony on your way out of the shop.

Whether you’re an out-of-towner or a diehard Chicago dweller who thinks you’ve seen it all, these 111 hidden places are waiting for you to seek out and enjoy.

About the Author

Amy Bizzarri is an extreme Chicago history buff and freelance writer. She lives with her two children in a vintage 1910 home in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. When she’s not writing, you’ll most likely find her swimming laps at Holstein Park pool, riding her bicycle around Humboldt Park or sharing an atomic sundae at Margie’s Candies. Susie Inverso is a professional photographer in Chicago, IL. She has the unusual job of photographing public transit throughout the city, and she has visited Chicago’s farthest corners. When she is not photographing trains, people, or pets, she plays the trumpet and guitar in various musical projects. She lives with her fiancé, their 2 cats, and a box turtle. Go Cubs!
