A CHICAGO RIVER ARCHITECTURE TOUR . . . in the Great Hall of The Center!
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
-- Frank Lloyd Wright, (1939)
The most beautiful modern city in the world is Chicago. I always visit the Art In- stitute, walk on Lake Shore Drive, and take the architecture boat ride.
-- Nicola Bulgari, (2011)
Have you ever wanted to go on a Chicago River architecture tour? Have you gone but would relish the chance to review and reminisce? Join Center Development Director Mark Walker for lunch and a program highlighting the river tour from the friendly confines of The Center. Mark will share his photographs and observations about Chicago’s splendid buildings, with a bit of city history and folklore tossed in along the way. And while he finds the quotations above very enlightening, he suggests only walking near Lake Shore Drive for safety's sake.
Luncheon and presentation, $16.
