Michigan Avenue

The book begins with a map of the city, showing the location of each walk. Individual maps of the walks, the walking time, and an index of the buildings and architects make this book a useful guide.

This book features the charity exhibition, Cows on Parade, that was displayed around the streets of Chicago in 1999. The statues were sold for charity and are organized by the opening auction price. The book features full color photographs and opening remarks by the Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, Lois Weisburg.

Ira Bach describes architectural walks "selected to present Chicago as a great cosmopolitan city as well as a collection of local community areas, all tied together by an intricate web of transportation that makes them accessible to the pedestrian for a closer view."

"Around the world the name "Chicago" conjures up images of the Roaring Twenties, speakeasies, cops and robbers, and "Scarface" Al Capone. In Mystery Reader's Walking Guide: Chicago, author Alzina Stone Dale brings all of this-and more-to life in 10 walking tours of Chicago's neighborhoods, as described in the works of Sara Paretsky, Craig Rice, and more than 70 other mystery writers Each Walk is accompanied by an easy-to-follow map of your route, as well as recommended restaurants and places of interest along the way, presented in a style that is evocative of the great writers, books and sleuths identified with the Windy City."
