The slashing of Ogden Avenue through the grid on the near north side, and its subsequent removal, has left many interesting remains... When? Sunday, August 24, 2008. High Noon. Where? Lincoln Park. How much? 5 dollar "donation." On this tour, we'll show you every remnant of the former street, and discuss the reasons for its extension and removal. We'll take a look at the surrounding environment, including a portion of a demolished bridge, a former coach yard, marginalized and "converted" industry, and one of the most notorious public housing projects in the world. All of these elements and more are part of the story of Ogden avenue, one of the oddest parts of Chicago's built environment. Please reserve a spot for the tour by sending an email to serhii (at) forgottenchicago.com. Please include the term "Tour" in the subject line, and your name in the body text. We will reply with a confirmation email with further details and the exact location. Back to main page. |
