Nonprofit to start work on a playground in Englewood

Englewood nonprofit I Grow Chicago will break floor Friday on a brand new playground in an effort to rework vacant heaps into peaceable group areas. The lot, 6415 S. Honore St., sits in the midst of a block with many vacant houses, stated Robbin Carroll, I Grow Chicago founder. Also on the block is the I Grow “Peace House,” a reclaimed deserted home that now serves as a group middle. “What we’re really trying to do, in a block that’s been pretty much abandoned, is allow for connection and belonging and community space for gathering again,” Carroll stated. Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) will converse on the floor breaking. Construction is predicted to be completed by the tip
