A drive around River North

I tested my latest toy on Monday – a car window mount for the video cam – to give you a look at the “built environment.”

It doesn’t get more eclectic (in Chicago at least) than River North. Gawdy tourist restaurants, endless parking lots, glittering high-rises, industrial lofts, L tracks, mega-mansions and poverty rows, just for starters. You go from true grit to true glitz just by crossing the street.

Yo’s looking for volunteers. Join me in the car and talk about your neighborhood as we ride through it with the camera running. If you’re up for that, e-mail YoJoe @ YoChicago.com.
