In this Little Local minisode, we explore the man behind Gompers Park and Gompers Lagoon in Chicago, IL. Little Locals is a series of bonus minisodes where the hosts of Shared History research the history behind the names and faces of local streets, parks, buildings, statues, etc. If there's a street or park that you drive by every day and wonder "I wonder who/what the heck that's named after" submit it to [email protected] and maybe we'll do a Little Local minisode on it!
