  1. Good morning from Elijah Wentworth, often considered the first non-Indigenous permanent settler of #JeffersonPark here in #Chicago.

    In 1830, he opened the Wentworth Tavern near what is now Milwaukee and Lawrence Avenues, kicking off the beginning of the area's development. Yup, our neighborhood was built around alcohol!

    He built a large, 2-story, log tavern and the rest is history! dnainfo.com/chicago/20170518/j

  3. Tom hopes you all have a great week.

    And if not, it doesn’t really matter because he’s a statue! 😜
