Month: November 2020

I always enjoy visiting the West Town area of Chicago… no matter how many times I’ve been there!! Each time I go I see something new or something old I didn’t notice before, so it’s always fun. I hope you enjoy this virtual walk down Milwaukee Avenue through West Town from Division to Chicago.
