The Fabulous History of Uptown

Join Leyla Royale for an in-person walking tour of Uptown's fabulous entertainment history! We'll stop at various sites of old movie palaces, ballrooms, and jazz clubs (some gone, some still here) and learn about the development of this very 1920s neighborhood, its connections to early cinema, take a stroll through an outdoor art gallery, and see the future of Uptown as it is being constructed.

FAQ

• We'll start at Everybody's Coffee and end by Broadway and Lawrence.
• The tour will cover about a mile walking distance, so wear your walking shoes.
• Rain or shine! Bring appropriate clothing in case of inclement weather.
