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."

A collage of memoir-type reflections, particularly musings on love and personal relationships, exaninations of religious faith and spirituality, and reflections on the death of the author's loved ones. Very much a personal zine.

John Phillips writes, as the cover of the zine indicates, "an anarchist analysis of Arizona's immigration law" (SB 1070, signed April 23, 2010, which gave Arizona police broad powers to detain anyone suspected of being in the U.S. illegally). Phillips is a Pennsylvanian, but the zine is distributed locally by South Chicago ABC Zine Distro of Homewood, IL.
