Thinking of taking the neighborhood plunge? Make sure you're ready. These are Rob Jackson's five survival items you'll need when urban exploring.

>> CTA bus pass: "It'll come in handy for getting around."
>> Walking shoes: "Sometimes we just explore the neighborhoods, so having comfortable shoes is key."
>> Camera: "You'll probably want to take a few pictures while we're out."
>> Journal: "So far, people have liked being able to write down and remember some of the things that stood out to them."
>> An open mind: "Just be ready for anything."
