#JeffersonPark

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! https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170518/jefferson-park/throwback-thursday-elijah-wentworth-jefferson-park-history-first-resident/

Mural painted on a brick wall featuring the words “JEFFERSON PARK” in bold black letters on a light blue background. To the right of the text is a red star with a stylized black-and-white portrait of Elijah Wentworth, depicted with a stern expression. Below the text and portrait are black line drawings of Chicago architecture, including a skyscraper and a steepled building, representing local landmarks. The mural celebrates the history and identity of Jefferson Park, a neighborhood in Chicago.

Thomas Jefferson, Sith Lord.

Eight green parrots are sitting on a while fire escape, four on the rails and four on the steps. The right-most parrot on the steps is starting to take flight, flourishing their wings.

A bumble bee is sitting on a flower with its wings shining in the sunlight. The camera is focused on the bee, but grass is visible out of focus around her.

A finch sitting on a branch, looking at the camera. The finch has a white belly with black pattering along its back.

A large tree branch frames the view of a building, with large green shrubs sitting along the bottom.

A detailed bronze statue of a historical figure stands in the foreground, with a bus terminal in the background. The statue features a man with long hair and a contemplative expression, dressed in 18th-century attire.

Tom hopes you all have a great week.

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