About this event
Two hours in the garden beds of Northerly Island — the man-made peninsula that was Meigs Field until Mayor Daley sent bulldozers across the runway one night in 2003. Hands in the soil, a harvest potluck, and the whole downtown skyline across the water as the light goes.
Why we picked it
Gardening and a potluck with the best skyline view in Chicago behind you, on a former airport.
