Taken on August 17, 2018 in Chicago. This park is named for my favorite 18th century German naturalist. I recommend Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature.




DAILY PHOTO: Garfield Park
Taken on August 16, 2018 in Chicago.
Fun Fact: This park was to be called Central Park until President James Garfield was assassinated. (Not so fun a fact for Garfield, but he did get a park named after him. Not the most illustrious of parks, but then again he wasn’t the most illustrious of Presidents. Ironically, Garfield Park has a very nice sculpture of Lincoln, a much more highly lauded President with a vastly more impressive Chicago Park.
