Unique Events This Week in Evanston!

What makes Evanston such a great place to live?  I could mention it’s close proximity to one of major cities in the world, the outstanding restaurants, the pristine homes on tree studded streets, or the edgy condos perfect for young professionals.  I could also mention the growing art scene which highlights everything from theatre, music, film and the ever increasing number of galleries.  Events that promote Evanston community involvement are in abundance and the charming downtown is always a draw for both residents and visitors alike. 

Hearing about the unique things that Evanston offers always makes me proud of the way the city is constantly looking to expand its views and give big city culture to this perfectly sized town.  Below are just a few of my recent findings:
