Find out more about Andrew: When Andrew Gagnon isn't working as an environmental consultant, he's getting lost in a crowd at one of the city's many great festivals. Otherwise, you'll find him behind a guitar, in front of a movie screen, or to the side of a large stereo speaker. |
If you have never been to Roscoe Village, do the following:

2. Redeem yourself by walking around this unique Chicago neighborhood and visiting the Belmont Arts and Music Festival.
