The Uptown Historical Society held its kick-off event in the lobby of the beautiful Sheridan Plaza Hotel at the corner of Sheridan and Wilson. This also coincided with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Uptown Chicago Commission. Those in attendance, including Alderman James Cappleman who served as past president of UCC, learned about the history of UCC and also about the history of the Sheridan Plaza. A sold out bus tour of Uptown followed the event, led by Uptown historian Martin Tangora.
