Celebrating in Englewood
Englewood is a South Side neighborhood with a proud history of community organizing, strong churches and block clubs. The 63rd Street corridor, Halsted Street and Ashland Avenue are its main commercial streets, Kennedy-King College anchors the area's education scene, and the Green Line's Ashland/63rd terminal makes it easy to reach from downtown. Block clubs and community groups have been the backbone here for decades, and their events draw people from across the South Side.
Large congregations host anniversaries, funerals and community dinners.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Summer events on cleared lots or closed streets, requiring city approval for closures.
