Our walk for June will be a little different. In conjunction with our JPF Community Development Committee, we’ll take a little trip courtesy of the CTA and Metra. 

Our destination will be Pullman for a walking tour of the neighborhood. For those unaware the area is now part of the National Park Service. The main visitor center is in the Administration/Clock Tower building. From there we’ll walking through the neighborhood. We’ll see the Hotel Florence, the Greenstone Church (yes it’s green), the Market buildings, and of course the row houses.

The actual walk distance likely won’t be much more than 3 miles. This will be a slow paced walk to savor the neighborhood’s history. If you’re not fully aware of the Pullman story a little pre-walk studying might make your walk that much more enjoyable.

After the walk we’ll likely hit up Lexington Betty’s BBQ on 111th. Please note the earlier meetup time at Weston’s. Also note we need to stick to a hard time for departure as we’ll need to be at Millennium Station by 10AM.

Hope to see you there.
