Where Clearing hosts use lighting
Clearing is a Southwest Side neighborhood of postwar bungalows and Georgian-style homes, tucked beside Midway Airport and the rail yards. It takes its name from the nearby Clearing rail yards and industrial district, and the neighborhood has a blue-collar, tight-knit feel with many long-time residents and multigenerational families. It's a neighborhood where families have stayed for generations, so graduations and communions often involve large extended families.

Graduation parties, communions and birthdays at home.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Parish halls
Receptions and luncheons with fixed schedules.
