The City of Chicago has announced the 2008 schedule of its popular neighborhood tours. All the tours depart from the Chicago Cultural Center at 77 E. Randolph Street in downtown Chicago. New to the tour route this year is a "Garfield Park and Beyond" tour. Other highlights include Bronzeville, Pullman, The Great Chicago Fire, and more. Prices range from $20 to $50.
