I-GO Pizza

Ooey-gooey cheese, rich tomato sauce and a nice crispy crust. Sounds pretty good, right? But what does it have to do with I-GO and car sharing? Well, if you are an I-GO member, you can get 15% off your next order at APART Pizza Company--one of the best thin crust joints in the city. Just remember to show them your I-GO card. But don't take my word, check out these reviews on Yelp and Time Out.

APART has two convenient locations: 2205 W. Montrose and 5624 N. Broadway.

And by the way, you're welcome.

The Center for Neighborhood Technology Celebrates 30 Years!

The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT)—the larger non-profit org that first conceived and rolled out I-GO Car Sharing in 2002—celebrated its 30^th anniversary in style last night at Chicago’s Garfield Park Conservatory. The evening featured a lineup of eco-conscious speakers, including Sadhu Johnston- Chicago’s resident green guru, as well as a festive soundtrack furnished by the post-bop Patrick Mulcahy jazz quartet and a New Orleans-style Mardi Gras marching band.

The verdant landmark venue, designed in 1908 by legendary landscape architect Jens Jensen, is celebrating its own significant birthday this year—100 years of cultivating plants, folks—so the setting couldn’t have been more apropos. Garfield was green long before green was cool.

CNT is a creative think-and-do tank that focuses on issues related to climate change, energy, natural resources, and transportation and community development. Founded in 1978, it has been a leader in promoting more livable and sustainable urban communities, both in Chicago and around the country. I-GO is proud to be affiliated with CNT, and we wish them many more decades of successful innovation.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It’s that time of year again! You know what I’m talking about- the Chicago River runs green, the beer flows freely and everyone seems to be wearing something green- it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate the day, I-GO is offering a $40 discount on I-GO memberships. Sign up for I-GO before March 25^th and it costs only $35 to join! The promo code for this special is: D35IRISH.

And if you’re in the mood to celebrate, head to Mrs. Murphy & Son’s Irish Bistro (3905 N. Lincoln Ave), not only do they offer contemporary Irish cuisine in a traditional setting but they are also an I-GO Chi Town Rewards business. That means that all I-GO members will receive a 10% discount off their bill when they show their I-GO Smartcard. So dig in, put on your best green gear and enjoy the weekend!
