I might have been to Chicago mostly for Pokemon GoFest, but I had a few more days in the city afterwards. And while wandering around Chicago, I found a place I remembered from earlier visits, but hadn’t remembered the name. Upon discovering it was called Block 37 Mall, I decided it was worth exploring in full. I first stumbled upon
This year I got a chance to attend Pokemon GoFest in Chicago. Not only am I from that city originally, but I had reasons to visit family. I had an action packed weekend and got a second vacation soon after the first. But before I could attend the event, I had to get to Chicago. And while a majority of
Day 1 of Chicago GoFest had me excited enough that I had trouble sleeping. After how much fun I had during the Miami Safari Zone, I couldn’t contain my excitement at the idea of going to an event that I had been told repeatedly was significantly bigger. Best of all, the event was in Chicago, the city I grew up
After how exciting day 1 of Chicago GoFest was, I was even more eager to return to Chicago for Day 2. And on the first day I learned about a place to do raids that I hadn’t checked out at all on the first day. And so I traveled back towards the same train station as day 1 and headed

I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. And a lot of terrible news has come out recently that is tiring us out. And I can’t even recommend that we ignore what is happening for our mental health. That is what makes these things so insidious. As has always been the case with The Felon as well as those
With the weather being perfect, I got a chance to go on another adventure in Lake Mary, Florida. This park seemed intriguing given what the thumbnail photo was on google when I found this park. Anyway, let’s see what I found at Estella Park. A place like my last adventure that is tucked away in a neighborhood. Normally I am
After taking a week for myself, I finally found the energy to go back outside and check out another park in Lake Mary, Florida. This time I found Tree City Park. Tree City Park is like many green spaces that are in neighborhoods. Its a tiny quiet spot on a corner. Without digital maps, such a place would only be
Megacon 2026 Day 4 is the shortest day of the event. And it was even shorter for me. Partially I was feeling burnout from being active the other three days, but mostly it was because I needed to get my brother and his friend to the airport. This didn’t end up being a problem though. While I was at the
