Melinda Fries took us through one of her favorite neighborhoods, the Kinzie Industrial corridor, one of Chicago's many industrial corridors. This area is home to secret stashes of marvelous (and some not so marvelous) public art work, and curious nooks of all kinds. It is an area in radical transition.

Ms. Fries is currently exploring the landscape and land use in Chicago's 22 industrial corridors.

Sarah Kanouse led a group meander through the neighborhood, named for early Chicago resident Billy Caldwell, also known as Chief Sauganash. Exploring the contemporary neighborhood built on his land, the walk visited places where his history is marked, forgotten, or invented.

As the son of a white Canadian man and a Native American woman, Caldwell was an important if ambiguous power broker during the period of white settlement and Indian removal. A longtime employee and friend of the Kinzie family, Caldwell was granted the land that is now known as the Sauganash neighborhood in exchange for his services arranging Native American land cessions.
