Chicago is a planned city. This tour will provide

transportation. Travel from the center city Loop,
with its commerce and culture and fast-growing
residential area, to the North Side Old Town and
Lincoln Park neighborhoods and historic Wrigley
Field, to the West Side and Logan Square, Humboldt
Park, and Garfield Park. Ride through Chicago’s
emerald necklace, a 26-mile boulevard system, to
Near South and West Side medical centers and

North America, and historic Soldier Field, home of
the Chicago Bears. Transportation: Motorcoach.
