Our April walk will unquestionably be a grand time. This is because we will be walking Grand Avenue. From Weston’s Coffee & Tap Co. we will head straight down Long Ave. to Grand Ave. Once we hit Grand Ave. we will head southeast and keep going. We will walk through Whiskey Point, Hermosa, and Humboldt Park. Once we hit Western Ave., Grand Ave. loses the slant and we will head straight east through the West Town and River West neighborhoods. Some famous highlights along the way will be Jimmy’s Red Hots as well as the next door neighbor combo of D’Amato’s Bakery and Bari Italian Subs. We will also pass the large Metra Western Avenue rail yard.

The full Long/Grand/Milwaukee loop and is 17 miles. We could do that but we will likely be satisfied finding a place to sit in River West for some refreshment and grab either the 56 Milwaukee bus or CTA Blue Line home. This would result in total walk of 10-11 miles. Please join up for a good time.
