Welcome to my Retro River North tour where you will get to see several establishments and their amazing vintage signs and vintage neon signs. Plus along the way I will show and tell you all about many notable properties like I always do. It’s hard to walk past a historical place and not include it on the tour - even though they may not have a vintage sign they are still as much a part of Chicago’s history. This fun tour takes place as an evening stroll through the fascinating River North Historical District.

This is one of my first tour to offer a VERY unique experience. While on the tour you will be able to follow along using your phone to see many historic and interior photos related to each stop, making this a one-of-a-kind, interactive experience like none other!

3. The day before the tour you will be emailed with a 100% discount code to enter so you can see the RETRO RIVER NORTH photos in the app (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FREE). If you have any problems with getting this set up I can help you just prior to the tour. I am always at the starting point early. This is not necessary to FULLY enjoy the tour so if you don't want to participate it is no problem!

Note: This tour is approximately 1.25 - 1.5 miles in length. When possible, certain stops will include brief tours of the interiors, but some of the interiors may be closed on certain days. On those days you will be presented with a photographic tour of the interiors including photos taken by Ronnie as well as historic photos garnered from various historic preservation websites.

See you out on the trail!
