Grove Avenue   "Downtown Elgin will again be under heavy military control this year to keep everyone safe from the zombie infection. To ensure your survival, citizens are encouraged to proceed to the SAFE ZONE at Nightmare on Chicago Street presented by Gold Rush Gaming. Elgin’s Zombie Defense Initiative (ZDI) has sanctioned the area of Chicago Street from Douglas to Villa, as well as portions of Douglas Avenue, S. Grove Avenue, S. Spring Street and DuPage Court, as the official boundaries of the SAFE ZONE. Venture outside this area at your own peril. Although the SAFE ZONE has been deemed safe from the undead, we cannot guarantee that order will prevail. Expect businesses to be boarded up, vegetation reclaiming derelict buildings, trash strewn everywhere, burning tires and barrels of toxic waste littering the streets, abandoned cars, buses and even airplanes damaged and overturned, as well as stray zombies being taken for processing and decapitation. Do not fear! Your safety is guaranteed by military presence, concerned citizens and our Team ZDI. Opportunities to purchase food, alcoholic beverages, shelter, medical treatment (an ambulance will be there with doctors on hand), and provisions will be available. This may be your last shot at survival, so we at the ZDI want to make sure that every human has a good time with three stages of live entertainment and bands, food, drinks, retail vendors, a zombie homecoming parade and pageant, cage matches in the Thunderdome, Nightmare Alley, live graffiti artists, a hookah lounge, costume contest, special guests like MeTV’s SVENGOOLIE and more! The ZDI needs you to help keep our citizens alive! Book your tickets now and escape to the SAFE ZONE in Downtown Elgin on Saturday, October 20, 2018 from 6-11pm at Nightmare on Chicago Street!"
