Just a reminder that Urban Scouting is having it's first pop-up event at Unchartered Book Store in Logan Square TONIGHT!

http://www.unchartedbooks.com/readings-literary-events/

During the evening we will also touch on making our two projects: t shirt screening and the houseless project and a pop up edible urban gardening around the city, come to life.
