Join Chicago for Chicagoans for a walking tour of Rogers Park covering neighborhood history, architecture, and current developments.
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 .
Chicago for Chicagoans happily exists as a "pay-what-you-can" tour service. A suggested tip of $10-20 per person is always appreciated, but reviewing us on Yelp , liking us on Facebook , spreading the word, and attending future tours tells us how much you love us too! We are a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit that creates inclusive walking tours by & for Chicago residents, designed to represent the histories of all Chicagoans.
