This was my first visit to it since its alteration and his too. It reminded us of the fair in many ways. Went through the model coal mine and saw many other things of interest. Went out & back by bus. The small part of Washington Park we went through near 57st it seemed completely filled with colored folk . East of cottage Grove Ave there are not so many of them.
