A group of people gather together at Marquette Park in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side of Chicago on Monday, June 13, 2026. Following intense storms and a severe weather outbreak that knocked out power across the South Side earlier in the week, cooler temperatures drew the residents back out to the neighborhood’s public parks. This photo is part of the Columbia Chronicle’s “77 Community Areas” project, documenting Chicago ahead of America’s 250th birthday.
