“I’m going to continue to support our city, and I want you to continue to find your park, wherever it may be.” - Common
The National Park Service continued its #NPS100 summer celebration on June 11, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. The Park Exchange brought the jazzy spirit of New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park to Washington Park where Grammy and Oscar-winning artist, Common, acted as honorary grand marshal of the New Orleans second line.
