Hey Everyone!

It's episode 4 of NaPodPoMo.  We're still in Beverly Hills, but we're checking out two mainstays  institutions of this community for many years: St. Barnabas Catholic Parish and Evergreen Plaza, which technically is not in Chicago but is in the suburb of Evergreen Park.  

This is mile #3 of our exploration of the longest street in Chicago, Western Ave. We'll be taking the rest of November to "Stroll down Western Ave." as part of the National Podcasting Post Month.  We will be dropping one episode a day for the entirety of November! 

Make sure you have your phone handy as you listen, it will make things so much better.  Trust me! 

Let's continue our walk together this November as we explore this historic street.
