Tour of Chicago's northside neighborhood as New Orleans As part of Mess Hall's Mapping II show in April 2004, I worked with Rebecca Grady to create a 30 minute tour through Roger's Park. Sites were chosen (residences, churches, a cemetary and public buildings) based on their similiarities to historical or notorious sites in New Orleans. Tours were given in a 1986 Mercury station wagon, visitors to the gallery were able to sign up for tours several times a day. As they made their way through the neighborhood, the guide revealed the history and legends of these sites as if the tour were in New Orleans. This tour was made possible by the help of local actors and artists.
