About this event

REGISTRATION AVAILABLE BEGINNING JUNE 15TH

Chicago for Chicagoans is excited to invite you back for a freshly redesigned, new 2 hour walk through the southeast end of Rogers Park, led by former longtime resident and neighborhood expert Anthony Alfaro!

Beginning at the Loyola Red Line stop, the tour will cover Rogers Park's rich history, architecture, and landmarks — from its earliest beginnings as a village on the city's outskirts, to its flirtations with luxury, elegance, and grand movie palaces, its war with neighboring West Ridge, and its modern reputation as one of the most ethnically diverse areas of Chicago's Far North Side. Come discover why this community has been reported as the city's best neighborhood for quality of life, and end the afternoon with a beverage (or many) at Cuneen's.
