Hello out there.

My husband Matt and I recently graduated from law school and moved to Chicago together. As he grew up in Boston and I grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa, we're new to the area and don't know much about all of the wonderful neighborhoods around here. We've decided to fix this problem in a couple of ways:

1) Fifty Chicago Walks. We bought a silly deck of fifty cards with walks around different Chicago neighborhoods. We're going to do one every week until we get through the deck. Hopefully, by the time we decide to go house hunting in a year or so, we'll know the entire city by heart and we'll know just where we want to live! So this blog exists primarily to write about our travels and adventures in the Chicago area.

2) Eating out. We both love to cook, bake, eat and drink. I have no idea if we'll be any good at this, but when we can rustle up the motivatioon, we'll write about this on our blog too.

We hope you'll join us on our adventures, and suggest others for us too!
