River Walk Chicago

What an exhilarating time to be in Chicago. Renewed activities on the river feature a variety of musical venues and relaxed dining like Tiny Tapp.

A favorite crossroads on the Chicago River is always Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive as depicted in two of my etchings.  

The Summer is a time to check into the new Hot Spot on the Chicago River .... "The Tiny Tapp" between Clark and Dearborn streets and tell Mark that you heard it here. While the bridge is up, stop at The Tiny Tapp for a cup of coffee.
