If you're curious about the proposed venue design for the 2016 Olympics or just looking for a guide around a place that's fascinated you for a while, today's the day to get a free tour from the city or the Chicago Architecture Foundation. The 11th annual Great Chicago Places & Spaces event breaks down our tremendous architectural diversity into one- to three-hour walking, train, trolley, and bus tours, including some that feature special access to usually off-limits and private buildings. Get to know the history of Bronzeville or Pilsen, the legacy of the Burnham Plan, or how the city's spaces have been used in films. There are plenty of event day tours to choose from if you don't get a chance to register for options like the Bike Obama or Eli's Cheesecake bakery tours.
