The show is set in a small apartment courtyard complex located in Lincoln Park in the city of Chicago, Illinois. Several young individuals reside in the apartments, each with their own dreams and drives. The original plan for the yard was to simply set it up in a way conducive for sunbathing, but after a trip to Target, the girls decided to develop the yard into a long-term party pad for the summer. The storylines will evolve throughout the season. Dayton Place's premiere season features three main characters: Claudia, a teacher who works at Wilshire Memorial High School and changes from a kind, devoted girlfriend to mean-spirited, adulterous villain; Tiffany, a Southern belle and struggling artist who moonlights as a bartender at a bar called Shooters, the group's hangout; Cortney, their budding interior designer friend who in the series premier had guest starred as Claudia & Tiffany's ambitious and merciless friend, but then was immediately promoted to series regular status. Jessica, a photographer running away from her abusive husband, was written off after 3 days. She was not brought back, explained by her character's engagement to a wealthy restaurant entrepreneur. Recurring as the girls' troublemaking, spoiled younger friend, Kristen was upgraded to series regular and remained with the show through its series finale.
This 3-day summer event kicks off the city's summer festival season. Mayfest features Chicago's best bands. Join us for an ice-cold beer and a funnel cake!
Owned and operated by the Chicago Park District, the Lincoln Park Conservatory is a beautiful marriage of glass and iron constructed between 1890 and 1895. The structure is divided into four houses featuring palms, ferns, orchids, and various seasonal displays for spring, summer, and the winter holidays. No matter the time of year, however, visitors can feast both eyes and noses alike on a vast array of fruits and blooms representing all corners of the globe. It is a wonderfully warm and inviting space to bring out-of-towners or to just sit and read a book in the dead months of winter. It is, after all, always 75 degrees here at Lincoln Park Conservatory.
