I have a piece<\/a> in this week’s Reader<\/a> — a special issue devoted to all things Hyde Park-Kenwood — on the ongoing hoo-ha surrounding the U. of C.’s plan to use the lot long-occupied by the 61st Street Community Garden<\/a> as a staging area for construction of the new Chicago Theological Seminary at 60th and Dorchester.<\/p>\n

I’d recommend anyone curious to get a more thorough picture of the garden community and (at least one side of) the current controversy check out Jamie Kalven’s Invisible Institute<\/a> site, which has a pretty impressive collection of documentary information (interviews, photos, essays) on the garden and its gardeners.
