The Bloomingdale Trail, Chicago’s much-anticipated 606 bike and pedestrian park, is finally opening on the West Side this weekend.
Ten years and nearly $100 million later, a somewhat-sunny Saturday beckons the city. But before hitting the Trail, get to know the lay of the land.
Get ready for opening day! Maybe print the schedule of events now? (8a comes early on a Sat.) #the606gohttp://t.co/rgesWZRx1c
