Throughout the pandemic, I’ve been offering ideas for safe, socially distant adventures using the hashtag #secretsocialdistancing.
I was thrilled when WGN Morning News invited me to share some Secret Chicago spots that you can safely explore during this time. It was my first virtual interview, and although I had to switch spots from my home office to the living room moments before going on, everything went smoothly!
It’s always fun to chat with anchors Larry and Robin. We discussed some outdoor locations that locals might not even know about, like an outdoor sculpture garden and a burial plot for Cubs fans. I hope this inspires viewers to seek out the thrill of adventure close to home! For more secret spots in Chicago, you can order the book online now!
