We celebrated the official launch of the Chicago Neighborhood Guidebook in fine style on Wednesday, September 11, at Chicago's Hideout bar -- where editor Martha Bayne used to work as a bartender. Contributors Audrey Petty, Sara Salgado, Megan Stielstra, Rob Miller, Raymond Berry, Emily Mack, and Kim Z. Dale read from their work to a packed house. We feel the love!
Earlier this week Martha appeared on WTTW's Chicago Tonight to talk about the book. You can watch the whole thing and read Sheila Elliott's essay on her childhood neighborhood of Garfield Ridge here.
