  We explore the structure and kinematics of a dispersed filament of galaxies
residing between the Local Void and the Virgo cluster. For such purpose, we
consider a sample of 361 galaxies with radial velocities $V_{LG} < 2000$ km/s
inside the sky area of RA = [13.0 ... 18.0]$^h$ and Dec. = [$-$5 ...
$+$10]$^\circ$. At present, 161 of them have individual distance estimates. The
galaxy distribution on peculiar velocities along the strip exhibits the known
Virgo-centric infall at RA < 14$^h$ and some signs of outflow from the Local
Void at RA > 17$^h$. Majority of the Bootes strip galaxies (56%) belong to 13
groups and 11 pairs, with the most prominent group around NGC5846. The Bootes
strip groups reside within [17$-$27]Mpc, being all farther from us than the
Virgo cluster. The Bootes filament contains the total stellar mass of
$2.7\times10^{12} M_\odot$ and the total virial mass of $9.07\times10^{13}
M_\odot$, having the average density of dark matter to be $\Omega_m = 0.09$,
i.e. a factor three lower than the global cosmic average.
