Previous Walkabouts had various groups playing at different venues. But this year, we thought we would take the shows outside. Adding to that, we thought it would be cool to reveal some of Elgin's past on the tour, beyond the usual historically significant old building.
Even with all the construction that has taken place downtown, there is still a lot of old Elgin waiting to be discovered. The truth is, anywhere you walk downtown, there is usually a story lying right beneath your feet. With that in mind, the theme for this year became "Hidden Places, Found Spaces".
And that's how it started. We deliberately sought out places that seemed to fall off the radar.
We'll feature more spaces in the coming days, but the real mind trip is when you take the walk. You see lots of things that feel like they're from another time. And our plan is to inject some new life, even if its only a brief encounter in a dusty place.
