| Old Town History Walk |
| The term Old Town brings to mind a vision of a community held together by history, tradition, folklore and community spirit. Please join me in a walk through the history of Chicago’s Old Town, a community originally named “Cabbage Patch” and today the stage for 250 nationally acclaimed artists and an estimated 40,000 art lovers at its annual Art Fair. We will stroll at a medium pace to look at buildings and listen to stories for about an hour and then finish with questions, wine and snacks at my home, built in 1883, in the center of Old Town. | 10 | 2 | .0002E7 | 20 | 6/25/16 4:00 PM | N | N |
