Reviews
"I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, it's nice that they're trying to preserve history through the neighborhood homes and building a sense of community. On the other hand, I question what they're trying to preserve. Progress is slow and beyond the scope and capabilities of a local organization. What are you planning to do with the abandoned Market Square, for example? And how will you do it and when? In addition, they're telling things largely from the perspective of older, largely white and wealthier pseudo-progressive, neighborhood crony elites. Many things are glossed over or ignored, either unintentionally or by design, through its limited perspective. If you're going to claim to talk about history, try to tell the whole story or as much of it as you can, good and bad!"
"There is only one mention of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the entire museum. See pic... Passing mention below the singular picture of a black railroad worker. The only woman executive mentioned is described as "a bitter dispirited woman." Just... Really?"
"The restoration of this important historical site is moving forward. It's good to see that it's being preserved. Pullman Railroad Days was one of their special events."
"Pretty neat community. A place where people come together and help one another whether it be shoveling their walk way or chasing down a robber; we got one another's back. Sometimes we chit chat with our neighbors on our way through the neighborhood. Sometimes we hang out and attend one of the fun gatherings Pullman does with one another: game night, movie dinner, wine club to name a few. It is all about building a nice friendship with one another and being helpful and kind."
"Plan for half a day. You'll want to tour the historic neighborhood, and not just the visitor center. Had a great tour, including the plan for the neighborhood, the Pullman Strike, the Hotel Florence restoration, etc. I took public transportation out and walked, which one of the guys' working here suggested that wasn't a good idea. It is the South Side of Chicago, but i did just fine. ©TIFA 2003"
