Led by local resident, Giovina Romandine! This walk will help you explore the rich history and architecture of this incredible northside neighborhood.Beginning at the Southeast corner of Portage Park, the tour will wind past the namesake park's historic fieldhouse, Olympic size swimming pool, lush trees, and nature & wildlife garden. From there, we'll explore the western section of the neighborhood — diverse churches, shuttered schools, a 1920s movie palace, the former site of Cook County's poorhouse, and century-old cemeteries are just a few of the highlights. In keeping with Portage Park's rich Polish history, we end the tour at the Jolly Inn, a delicious all-you-can-eat Polish buffet with some of the best pierogis in town.​Chicago for Chicagoans happily exists as a "pay-what-you-can" tour service.
