Description of the event: Join Chicago for Chicagoans for a walking tour of Morgan Park, covering neighborhood history, architecture, and current events.REGISTRATION AVAILABLE BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 6TH
Chicago for Chicagoans is thrilled to debut a brand-new 2.5-hour neighborhood walking tour of Morgan Park, led by area resident Cristen Brown! Cristen is a local history enthusiast and architecture obsessive drawn to singing the praises of the unsung, and highlighting the many ways South Siders in particular have managed to make the ordinary extraordinary.
Beginning at the 111th St. Metra Station, the tour will cover the history, architecture, and landmarks of Morgan Park — you'll discover how the area transformed from a remote enclave where 19th century horse thieves would hide their stolen goods, to a quaint commuter suburb built up along the railroads, to a neighborhood divided by the construction of I-57 in the mid-20th century. Since the 1880s, Morgan Park has also been home to a significant number of Black families, who persevered through racially restrictive covenants, the de facto segregation of neighborhood schools, and countless other challenges.
The afternoon will end with a visit to the Ridge Historical Society, where participants are encouraged to join the group to explore the historic mansion and dive deeper into hyper-local Southside history.

If you've never visited Pullman before, you're in for a treat... and if you already feel familiar with the area, Ms. Bea's decades of lived experience in the community is sure to highlight a side of the story you've never seen before.
Head down to the neighborhood early to grab an afternoon pick-me-up at Pullman Club Coffee, stick around after the tour to taste all the delicious sweets on offer at Richard's Ice Cream Shop, or simply spend some time with your fellow tour-takers exploring the exhibits inside the Administration Building.

Holy heck, we've been giving pay-what-you-can walking tours of Chicago for TEN YEARS! To celebrate this milestone achievement, we are throwing a big, fun, nerdy as hell party for ourselves.
Our tour guides, lecturers, board members, staff, and longtime super volunteers will be creating shoebox dioramas about Chicago history for this event. Yes, like small children do in middle school. Why? Because we're a bunch of highly educated, crafty history dorks and we think that sounds like a hilariously fun idea. It's also a competition: there will be prizes, ribbons, and trophies!
Our audience and the general public are invited to attend the grand unveiling of these ridiculous dioramas -- vote for your favorite(s), bribe the judges, hang out with cool people, eat cake, drink beer, and celebrate all the wonderful things we have learned together over the last decade.
Event Details:
2pm-3pm: Arrive, grab a drink at the cash bar, and browse the dioramas! Every attendee at the event will be given one popular vote ticket to vote for your favorite. Addiitonal votes may be purchased for $2. 
3pm-4pm: Judges announce the top 10 dioramas and begin short interviews with the finalists. The public may listen in, ask questions, and heckle (of course).
4:30pm: Cake &amp;amp; announcement of contest winners! There will be amazing prizes, ribbons, and goofy trophies awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place -- as well as a Popular Vote winner and as many honorable mentions as the judges feel like awarding.More details will be announced in early September.
