I’ve been to SPACE for concerts and for the Moth. It is an intimate place to really experience performance art of all kinds. Highly recommend it.

This place is Evanston's hidden gem. If you like flowers and roses, this place is special. It is a beautiful, peaceful garden. It is well tended and a pleasure to walk through. It has many rose varieties and lots of colors. I like the multicolored roses the best. It is free and open. You can walk through at any time. There is also a beautiful fountain, which unfortunately is not running this year due to Covid, although I am not sure why.
