Italian picnic held at local landmark

On Saturday July 25, the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance (PDNA) hosted a Venetian Night feast in the courtyard of the Glessner House at 1800 S. Prairie Ave.

Let the sun shine

The sun-filled courtyard stayed sun-filled for most of the evening. A little bit of rain had us running into the Glessner coach house, but that was fine because that's where all the food was! Speaking of food, there was plenty of it. Panozzo's Italian Market, 1303 S. Michigan Ave., and Pizzeria Brandi, 67 E. Cermak Rd., offered up salad, lasagna, spaghetti with meat sauce, and surprise, pizza.

Wait till next year!

Stuffed, we didn't go down to the lake to view the boat parade or see the fireworks. Walking to the lake would have been a good idea; we could have worked off some of the calories we consumed. Oh well; there's always next year.
