Gallup Park

If you've witnessed someone walking while furiously poking and swiping at their phone, you may be watching the "Pokémon GO" phenomenon at play. The app-based game has been around nearly 10 years and has devotees all around the world, including right here in Washtenaw County. WEMU's John Stockwell is a part of the craze and went in search of others who have the obsession. He found them locally, and another 10,000 or so, at a "Pokémon GO" event on the East Coast. Join John for the fascinating journey of adults creating community while satisfying their inner child.
