Historical Timeline

We did a some research about Lakeview and found some interesting things.  Did you know this was the celery capital of the midwest? Or did you know that the intersection of Lincoln/Milwaukee/ Ashland was once the largest shopping district outside of the Loop?

Open House Findings

Nearly 100 people attended one of two open house events, participating in four different stations, listening to our audio story entries, viewing our photo contest entries and learning about our outreach efforts to local youth. Some highlights from the visions shared can be found below.
Participants were asked to use
three words to describe their vision
for Southport and Lincoln/Belmont.
The graphics show the words used,
sized by frequency of use.
 Participants were asked to mark
places they'd like to see Preserved,
Enhanced or something new Created
using different colored stickers.  The map
can be downloaded below.
