Vision

We are a group of residents that devote our time and energy to improve and enhance our neighborhood as part of the South Loop and Near South Side of Chicago.  Our neighborhood association meeting is a place to meet neighbors, exchange ideas, prioritize projects, propose solutions, and implement plans for our neighborhood.  We are concerned with issues that affect the quality of life in our community.  Issues such as education and schools, proposed residential and commercial development, zoning regulations, traffic and infrastructure improvements, as well as social activities and events that will strengthen our neighborhood.  The intention being: To sponsor a variety of comprehensive community surveys and an assortment of projects such as neighborhood festivals, block parties, seasonal celebrations, crime prevention activities, historical and educational programs and beautification plans for upgrading neighborhood parks.
