Description

Tour of East and West Garfield Park This Sunday

 

This Sunday at 1:00 PM, Chicago Neighborhood Bike Tours takes another look at the communities of East and West Garfield Park.  We meet at the golden-domed Garfield Park fieldhouse, at 100 N Central Park, NOT the conservatory.  The tour is about 17 miles and takes in the park and surrounding neighborhoods.  There are generous feasts for your architectural hunger pangs including seminal works by Michaelsen and Rognstad, Jens Jensen, William Le Baron Jenney, Dwight Perkins, William Carbys Zimmerman, Hugh M. G. Garden, Joseph Lyman Silsbee, Alfred Alschuler, Pond and Pond, George Maher, Soloman Beman and Frank Lloyd Wright amongst others.  Many Chicagoans knowledge of the community begins and ends with the Conservatory and the Park, but the area is rich in both history and architecture and we will take it all in on two wheels on an early fall Sunday afternoon.  We hope you will join us for a bicycling history less of East and West Garfield Park

I only do the rides with apocalyptic weather. I have high hopes for the Tour of Austin.
