I went to DuSable and saw a great MLK documentary as well as a few exhibits that were open after hours. Excellent as always. I didn't visit the park otherwise but it was January in Chicago.

Very impressive natural beauty for being smack in the middle of the city. Great spot for birdwatching. Saw blue Heron, egrets, black Crowned Night Heron, wood ducks, mallards, redwinged blackbirds, etc
