There will be food vendors and live blues music throughout the day, June 11th, starting at noon at 5720 W. Chicago Ave.
Peace circles inspired the creation of 10 murals installed throughout the West Side. The artwork displays the vision West Siders have for their community.
As residents were briefed about a mural that is being redone at the Central Avenue viaduct there were calls for infrastructure repair. “Why are you putting a Band-Aid on a gushing wound? one resident asked.
