Berger Park, officially Park #1255 of the Chicago Park District, is a small (3.34acre) recreational area bordering Lake Michigan in the Edgewater neighborhood of North Side, Chicago, Illinois. The park features the historic Downey House and Samuel H. Gunder houses.HistoryEdgewater was a suburb of Chicago, relatively rural until John Lewis Cochran developed land for lakefront homes in 1885. Four years later, the town was annexed by Chicago. Cochran prohibited the construction of apartment buildings along Sheridan Road, and this plan was continued until the 1940s. The two houses in Berger Park were part of Cochran's Second Addition to Edgewater.Downey HouseThe Downey House, now known as the South Mansion, was built for Joseph Downey. Downey was an Irish immigrant who was a partner in a contracting firm. He became a prominent businessman, serving as the chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Commission, on behalf of the Chicago Board of Education, and as a member of the Chicago Association of Commerce. During George Bell Swift's mayorship from 1895 to 1897, Downey was the Commissioner of Buildings and of Public Works. Swift's successor, Carter Harrison, Jr., named him to the Board of Education. He married Lena Kleine in 1885 and the pair commissioned William Carbys Zimmerman to design a house in 1906 for $20,000. Downey retired in 1911, and by 1920, they had left the house.

JHDYC’s mission is to provide technical training and performance opportunities for teens at a professional level. JHDYC members attend classes and rehearsals up to five days a week — in a variety of techniques (Ballet, Graham-based Modern, Horton-based Modern, and of course Joel's signature Urban Jazz!). Besides performing works by their artistic directors they benefit by working with some of Chicago’s most sought-after choreographers. The mentorship and support for these young dancers is key to the success in their training, and in their long-term emotional development as dancers. Participation in JHDYC requires a true commitment of time and energy, and the members gain professional skills, life-long friends, and the joy of movement.
The program is based on the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre System of training. At Boitsov Classical Ballet School, students are taught Vaganova technique. Students start from age 3.
Madonna della Strada is a chapel on the campus of Loyola University Chicago in the neighborhood of Rogers Park, Chicago: it is named after the mother church of the Jesuit Province of Chicago (one of the largest Jesuit provinces).HistoryThe Chapel was the dream of Father James Mertz, S.J., who raised the money for its construction. The Madonna Della Strada Chapel is the main chapel on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola University Chicago. The chapel was built on the lakefront with the waters of Lake Michigan directly at its front doorstep. The church was designed and built at a time when it was anticipated that Lake Shore Drive would be extended and pass directly in front, but that project was abandoned. The chapel was designed by architect Andrew Rebori in the Art Deco Style and opened its doors to the Loyola University Chicago Community in 1938.Several chapel churches in Latin America were named after the chapel church in Chicago, as a tribute to Loyola University Chicago Jesuit and student missionaries.
