Hey everyone, here's your crawl for the crazy super duper opening of wonder and magic! I know, kind of an overstatement, but hey, I'm good at that. I'm also good at making a total asshole of myself, but we'll not talk about that. So, on top of this beautiful crawl I have prepared for you, I have other treats!

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...
