Printers Row Park Dedication

Printers Row Park is ready for its grand debut this Saturday! This is the one event that the Printers Row residents have been waiting for for quite some time and I hope that everyone is as excited as me. No more cabs or outsiders zooming through in the wrong directions or the people that just wouldn't stop for pedestrians. My only fear is that it will become a poo park. But after months of renovation I'm looking forward to sitting down and enjoying this great neighborhood gift. One that I'm sure will bring great joy to the people of an even greater neighborhood. The opening is from 10-11am and will feature music, food and fun sponsored by many local businesses.

DATE: Sat. Nov. 7th
TIME: 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.
LOCATION: 700 S. Dearborn St.
