A virtual tour of edible south-side Chicago An entertaining, courteous and experienced tour guide will orient your journey through some of the many gastronomic wonders and haunts of past, present and potential south side neighborhoods. The virtual, edible south side tour is 30 minutes in length. The tour will depart from the University of Chicago's 5710 South Woodlawn.


Transported by multimedia technologies, memory, personal narratives and their own imaginations, tour guests will travel through time and space, visiting Upton Sinclair's jungle, present-day food deserts, and oases both real and imagined. The tour will conclude at the Timuel D. Black Edible Arts Garden. Join us as we travel from the Back of the Yards to the new frontiers of urban sustainability!
