About this Event
REGISTRATION AVAILABLE BEGINNING JULY 20TH
Chicago for Chicagoans is excited to bring you a tour of fabulous Uptown! Led by Chicago for Chicagoan's Board Member and Uptown superfan Leyla Royale, this walking tour will take you through the rapidly changing neighborhood and trace its history from a glitzy 1920s past, to the tumultuous and radical 1960s-70s, to its current identity as a multicultural neighborhood filled with old architecture and brand new highrises.
We'll begin the tour out front of Everybody's Coffee and end on the wonderful Asia on Argyle. Plan to patronize one of the strip's delicious eateries for lunch!
​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.
