Celebrating in Roseland
Roseland began as a Dutch farming settlement in the 1840s and grew into a busy shopping district along Michigan Avenue. Today it's a residential neighborhood of bungalows, Victorian houses and tree-lined streets, with a strong tradition of churches and block clubs. Historic Pullman lies just to the east. Today it's a residential neighborhood where block clubs keep up long traditions of summer cookouts and holiday celebrations.
Palmer Park, a major neighborhood park, hosts picnics and reunions, and nearby Metra Electric stations connect riders to downtown. Forest preserves a short drive away add more open space. Church anniversaries, graduation open houses and family reunions fill the calendar. The area has a strong church community, and anniversaries and homecoming Sundays often draw guests from all over the South Side.
Anniversaries, repasts and community dinners.
