Englewood

Englewood is one of Chicago’s comeback neighborhoods, thanks to a series of strategic public investments, most notably the new $100 million campus of Kennedy-King College, part of the City Colleges of Chicago, and its highly regarded Washburne Culinary Institute.

Kennedy-King’s auto body and mechanic training program has a contract to maintain all City-owned non-emergency vehicles. The new campus is at 63rd and Halsted streets, the second busiest shopping district in the city in the 1920s.

Located throughout the city, Chicago Tribute Markers of Distinction celebrate notable Chicagoans by marking the places where they lived or worked. A marker commemorating artist Archibald Motley, Sr., is located at 350 W. 60th St. in Englewood.
