Everyone likes maps, right?

Here is a map of everything (I could find) in the city!

And here is a map of West Loop and River North!

And here is a pony, just for good measure!

If any of you want to crawl with me, I'll be at the Starbucks at Chicago and Franklin from 4:30 to 5, then heading out to the streets. And now, without further ado, the crawl...
