DIRECTIONS
A New Leaf is accessible via Clark St. bus (#22) or North Ave. bus (#72): just to the west of where Lincoln and Clark intersect, & just north of North Ave. and Wells. Parking options are street parking, or there is a pay lot at Piper's Alley at North and Wells.

Watch moments from the Day of Prayer for A New Direction in Chicago, and see what our faith and government leaders had to say about Tamms. All who attended are still very emotional about this event!
