Gordon Meyer

Hi, I’m Gordon. Thanks for your interest in my tour.

I arrived in Chicago in 2005, and having always been drawn to lore, legends, and the unusual, I immediately began collecting stories about my neighborhood. I could sense there was a deep, complicated history beneath the surface, so I spent a couple of years poring over old newspaper archives and teasing out forgotten facts. On this tour, I’ll share the very best of what I uncovered.

You’ll also hear surprising and strange tales I learned directly from neighborhood old‑timers. These stories are unique to my tour—insider accounts that aren’t easy to discover unless you know who to ask.

And rest assured: I dug deep and verified the oral history I collected. Everything you’ll hear on this tour actually happened.

I’m a professional writer and performer, trained right here at Chicago’s Second City. You’ll enjoy our time together, and I promise you’re in good hands.

After our walk, please consider leaving a review here on VoiceMap, and feel free to drop by my website—BizarreBucktown.com—and say hello. You can also reach me anytime at [email protected].

Thanks again. Now, let’s start walking. I can’t wait to show you my neighborhood and introduce you to its mysteries, history, and ghosts.
