Best of Andersonville Awards! And the Winners Are…
Tuesday April 8 was the annual Andersonville Honor‘s Gala, hosted at the Fireside Grill. The Andersonville Development Corporation alongside the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce handed out “Best of” awards to honor volunteers and businesses that make our neighborhood feel so tight-knit and unique in the city of Chicago. There to hand out the awards and sing the praises of our many loved neighbors were 47th Ward Alderman Ameya Pawar and 40th Ward Alderman Patrick O’Connor. The guests in attendance were from every category — local business owners, representatives from our nonprofit organizations, volunteers in the area, artists, chefs from our famous restaurants, and well-known characters from your favorite drinking holes and places to shop. Silent auction items were donated from many of the businesses along our main shopping corridors. Laughter filled the space. The evening’s events were a reminder of the people and places that make our neighborhood so supportive and authentic in a large city like Chicago.
