Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.2 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Aurora instead of crossing town between them. Paramount Theatre is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Alice's Corner Bolivian Cuisine — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, and solo who want a planned Aurora outing without improvising between stops.
