Description

A tour around the Chicago West Ridge neighborhood's public spaces and discussion about their ability to give us a good city. In partnership with the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Good City Group invites you to join us for a series of interactive discovery walks. The first one will be Saturday, October 16, starting at 9:30 am. Hosted by Odile Compagnon, she will lead us on a tour through the Westridge neighborhood. We will meet at the intersection of Devon Avenue and Talman Avenue at 9:30 am for a short presentation of the neighborhood's history, followed by a 45-minute walk around the neighborhood. The event will end at Devon Avenue and Talman Avenue with a brief conversation about what is good in our city, accompanied with local sweets. This is a Journee Nationale de l'Architecture event, celebrating "living together." The second walk will take place on Saturday, October 30, starting at 9:30 am. Mark Barry will lead us on a tour around the South Shore neighborhood. The meeting location is TBD and we will share it soon!
