Ongoing Exhibit

Thank you everyone who has taken some time to read this blog and for those that dig deeper into the history of the CBL, North Lawndale, and the themes of this blog. It's been awhile since I've posted here, but in the coming month I hope to do so a little more often.  We are working to complete a small exhibit about the CBL to be displayed in North Lawndale.  Information and progress of the developing exhibit will be posted here.  Feel free to comment and share, give suggestions, edits, etc.  Look for more to come soon....
