Get ready to treat yo self with Donna Marie Meagle, Leslie Knope and the entire gang at a Parks and Recreation pop-up at Replay Lincoln Park, Chicago's favorite arcade bar, 2833 N.

Pop-up visitors will be thrilled to attend a Mouse Rat rock concert and a tenor saxophone performance by The Duke Silver, Ron Swanson's alias.
