It Started with
a Parking Ticket
Chicago - Berwyn
In the busy city of Chicago, far from home in Berwyn, Manuel Pacheco found himself with an unexpected detour. He’d accidentally parked his red Celica on the wrong side of the street—street cleaning day.
Instead of getting frustrated, he saw it as an opportunity to explore.
The Story Continues
While searching for the place to pay his ticket, he discovered a whole new part of the neighborhood: businesses, parks, a gym, a hospital, and even an interstate train station—all closer than he’d realized.
That moment sparked a question: “How many other neighbors are missing out on what’s right around the corner?”
That’s how Detour Maps was born.
