Photos: Whittier Demolition And Protest

By Jon Graef in News on Aug 17, 2013 6:30PM

As the story of Chicago Public Schools bringing demolition crews to Whittier Elementary in Pilsen to tear down the fieldhouse known as “La Casita," was breaking, our Aaron Cynic was on the scene almost immediately. Cynic was also there this morning to document the destruction of “La Casita," and we present his photo work here.

If you're a Flickr user, and have photos of this protest, please enter them into our Flickr pool for consideration in tomorrow's "Around Town" by tagging your photos with "Chicagoist."
