Happy New Year! Are you as excited as I am for a fresh slate and a fresh calendar?
Since it’s already snowing in Chicago, this month’s calendar invites you to stay inside with a good book. The Stony Island Arts Bank is a vacant bank turned cultural center and library. Step inside to view the archives, check out art exhibits, and even flip through DJ Frankie Knuckles’ record collection!
I hope your year is off to a fantastic start!
