Information on Indiana Ghost Trekkers |
There are a number of places that make the claim of being the "most haunted"— New York's Amityville House, the Tower of London and Maryland's Blair Witch. But, based on what Doug Banks found with the Indiana Ghost Trackers, Chicago must come out far ahead of all the others! The "Trackers" gave Doug a real scare in "Death Alley" behind the Oriental Theatre and at Excalibur nightclub!

Information on Urban Golf |
|
When you think golf, you usually think of hitting the links, right? Well, who needs lush fairways and groomed greens? Janet Davies discovered a whole new ‘gritty’ version of the game that has made its way to Chicago! It may’ve begun in San Francisco and New York but now, Chicago has its own urban golfing group! They had their first outing back in the spring, now many weekends you’ll find them tromping through the city’s alleys whacking a tennis ball toward a target.
