The Bronzeville Community Garden, First Rooftop farm, The Bronzeville Forum, Bike Box, Jerk shack and now Boxville, are all courtesy of the Urban Juncture Foundation.

They are doing amazing works transforming this historical black neighborhood the past few years. I remember attending the 1st pre development party few years ago. One of the lead developers invited all community residents out to take part in celebrating the progress updates of the commercial real estate project.

Boxville is new to the endeavor but in many ways serves the same purpose. It is a pop up vendors cuisine market also known as a pop up container mall that takes place every Wednesday evening from 4-7 pm. It’s located right below the 51 st. green line train station on Prairie st. It is a very easy commute via green line and is located between the Bike Box and incubator space, adjacent to the community garden.
