Today I kicked off the press tour for my book Secret Chicago! The book’s official release date is just a few days away on April 1, and you can order it online now.
I’m a long time NPR listener, so I was thrilled when WBEZ Chicago invited me to join their Morning Shift broadcast today! I spoke with Tony Sarabia about Chicago’s hidden gems, like a convenience store filled with art and a hidden cow path in the Loop.

I had an absolute blast chatting with Tony and listening to recommendations from the callers. Thanks for having me WBEZ!
