Check out and join my new FB Group: We Should Hang Out Chicago. facebook.com/groups/10107072… This group is for CHICAGO RESIDENTS and VISITORS to discuss, post, and generally communicate. PHOTOS AND EVENT NOTICES ARE ENCOURAGED but we do limit commercial posts. – Members should POST SIMPLE HANGOUT IDEAS (“Getting coffee at X at 3 PM, anyone free?” or “Board games at the library Tuesday night”). If you know somebody who might enjoy being part of this group, TELL THEM ABOUT IT. This group will stay open unless easy access to it is abused.

Yesterday, after 6 years of behind-the-scenes work, BTTF Director John Adams and Chairman Walt Freeman presided over one of the first physical actions regarding the #BronzevilleTrail, taking soil samples before excavation and reshaping. Goal is to develop the abandoned #Kenwood “L” line embankment to an elevated hiking and biking trail, emulating the Bloomingdale Trail on Chicago’s north side. The Trail will start at 40th & Dearborn and end 2 miles later at 41st and Lake Park Ave., connecting to the lakefront biking/walking path. The Bronzeville Trail will encourage a healthy lifestyle and provide access to the lakefront path without traffic interference. We estimate that the Trail will cost approximately $100 million dollars. We've raised $10M so far, half of that going into streetscape work right now. More info, and to donate: bronzevilletrail.org/
