[IL-Talk] Hello NFB of Illinois!

[Robert Hansen]

Welcome to chicago. We have a Chicago chapter picnic that will be at the
Lincoln Park zoo on Saturday the 18th of july. It runs from approximately
12:00 noon until 3:00 in the afternoon. It's at the landmark Cafe inside
Lincoln Park zoo. There's outdoor and indoor seating. The chapter meetings
are held at a restaurant downtown it 226 South Wabash avenue. It's called
Exchequer restaurant and pub. It's accessible by all seven of the rapid
transit lines that go downtown. That would be the red line the blue line.
Those are two lines that run in the subway. The red line runs north and
south and operates through the State Street subway. The blue line operates
under Milwaukee avenue and Dearborn avenue. And all the other lines operate
on the loop elevated. And that meets on the second Saturday of the month.
