Summary: This is a nice, simple walk through the west-central part of downtown Fort Wayne. This hike has fewer big buildings than the first hike in the series. It is in a more residential part of downtown. There are some very nice areas, along with some pretty run down areas. Keep an eye out for some of the houses, some of the old ones are practically castles. As with the first hike, there are information plates near many of the locations.
