Your Guide to Lower Wacker, the Pedway, and Chicago’s Underground Network

About this episode

After getting lost on a recent trip to the (lower) Lower Wacker auto pound, host Jacoby Cochran needed some info on why Chicago has such a vast and confusing underground network. So he called up tour guide Mike McMains to ask about how the city’s lower streets, Pedway, and abandoned freight tunnels came to be such an integral part of the city. Mike is running an Underground Chicago (Plus Rats!) tour Nov. 23. Want some more City Cast Chicago news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Chicago newsletter.
