What you'll do
The tour begins in my Victorian parlor inside the landmark (and haunted) Flat Iron Arts Building. From there, our small group (no more than a handful of people) will explore Beer Baron's Row, the bustling "Polish Downtown" shopping district, and the park from which the neighborhood takes its name. We'll make over 15 stops on our one mile tour, all with a special emphasis on forgotten history, strange mysteries, and ghost stories.
Other things to note
You must be at least 13 years old to attend.
Please arrive a few minutes early. The tour starts on time and leaves the starting point.
We'll be walking on city sidewalks and streets.

- Identity verified
A long-time resident of Wicker Park, I am an experienced performer, speaker, and writer. I've been a magician most of my life, and I'm a graduate of Chicago's famed Second City training center. It took two years of research to put this tour together, ensuring it includes only the strangest, true stories of the neighborhood.
Where you'll be
I am a local resident, and a long time performer and writer. My tours are uniquely entertaining and you're sure to see and hear things you won't believe. I've been leading "bizarre tours" of Wicker Park and Bucktown for four years and have shown hundreds of people a new way to see the popular area.
