The Ed Paschke Art Center in Chicago is a different kind of art museum. All you have to do is examine the exhibit of Vaca Victoria, the controversial cow, and you'll know what I mean. Located at 5415 West Higgins Avenue, in the heart of Jefferson Park, it opened in 2014, on what would have been Ed Paschke's 75th birthday, as a tribute to the legendary Polish-American artist's work and life. Housed in a renovated building, the museum features 2,800 square feet of exhibition space and 1,700 square feet of educational space, alongside a re-imagination of Paschke's Howard Street studio. Paschke was born, raised, lived and worked on Chicago's Northwest Side and, as a Polish American, his ethnic heritage reflects part of the community's own diversity. The museum is open daily from 10 to 7. Admission is free. We were most interested in Paschke's Vaca Victoria. Remember Chicago's "Cows on Parade" exhibit from June to October in 1999, featuring over 300 cow sculptures embellished by local artists that went on public display throughout the city? Did you take pictures of them all? Like us, you probably missed Vaca Victoria, which stood at 215 West Superior in River North for just three days before it was removed because of the controversial gang signs that Paschke covered the cow with. Less controversial were other elements of the composition, like the head painted in the style of the Chicago Bulls logo. He signed his name over the cow's haunches, similar to a cattle brand.

From the booking process, thru to our return trip to the airport Legendary Private Car Service provided excellent customer service. We received timely acknowledgement to our online booking request. Leszek our driver was not only on time but early and met us at the baggage claim. His appearance was professional and his demeanor incredibly pleasant. The car was impeccable and the ride was smooth. Leszek also provided our return transportation, again he was prompt and professional. We enjoyed our ride and Leszek company, we will definitely use Legendary in the future.

This is an intimate theatre and was great for the Jackson Browne concert to honor veterans. We were in row J out of aisle 4 and it was very easy to see and enjoy all the interaction with the performers.
