BIO


Laurie Chipps enjoys exploring Chicago's neighborhoods by bike. A librarian for the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at Art Institute of Chicago, Laurie likes finding spots in the city that represent an historical moment and using photographs to tell others that story, such as, why a certain building is landmarked? Or, what happened at an intersection a hundred years ago?
