‘Secret Chicago’ Featured on WGN Morning News

Author Jessica Mlinaric talks about her book 'Secret Chicago' on WGN Morning News

My first book, Secret Chicago, is officially released! To help spread the word, WGN invited me to share some of Chicago’s unusual places on their morning news broadcast.

I was excited to join anchors Larry and Robin for my first television appearance. We chatted about some of the hidden locations around town that locals might not even know about, like a circus school inside a church and a nuclear reactor buried in the forest preserve. For more secret spots in Chicago, you can order the book online now!
