Celebrating in South Chicago
Where South Chicago hosts use heating & cooling
Nearby Calumet Park, with its beach, fieldhouse and lakeside lawns, is a summer gathering place, and the Calumet River and Lake Michigan put wind and water in the neighborhood's character. Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on 91st Street is a cherished landmark for many Mexican American families, and baptisms, quinceañeras and weddings follow from there to halls and backyards. Winter is long here, so many families move celebrations indoors to church basements and union halls from November through March.
