Pilsen (named after a city in what is now the Czech Republic ) is a historic district and vibrant community who celebrates art -- street art in particular. At first, murals were part of the activism against the Vietnam War. Now, they are a way for incredible artists to celebrate their history, culture, and loves. In this tour, we will walk down 18th Street to Harrison Park and all the adjacent streets, resplendent with painted or mosaic murals. We will also mention all the wonderful restaurants that make Pilsen one of the most celebrated areas in Chicago.
- We will meet in front of Simone's on 18th Street and start walking West, covering the varied history of the neighborhood as well as checking all the magnificent murals along 18th Street. - We will cross Ashland to get all the way to Harrison Park, check out the Mexican American museum, and then go south on Wolcott to check Hector Duarte's House and Studio. - We will meander through Cullerton, 19th Street, Dvorak Park, to see as many murals as possible, before getting back to 18th Street. We will end the tour at the Boogie mural. Time permitting, we might also walk 16th Street.
