Friends of Clark Street,
The common March saying of "in like a lion, out like a lamb" seems to be true instead for April this year. With seesaw weather - snow, sun, rain, wind - to a steady and pleasant spring-like week, we're hoping spring is finally here to stay!
We can't wait for all the upcoming festivities, especially our annual restaurant crawl, Cravings on Clark! This month's newsletter is jam packed with fun activities happening on the block, so don't be a stranger to Clark Street in Lincoln Park this spring!
