The Collaboratory

The New World Headquarters of Summer in the City!

[Drum roll please] After a dynamic decade doing work in the D, Summer in the City finally has a place to call its own!

The Collaboratory is nothing short of a dream come true: a beautiful, historic home nestled comfortably in the heart of Mexicantown across from Clark Park and along Vernor, down the street from our partners at Maybury Elementary School and Latino Mission Society and a stone’s throw from Corktown, downtown and more.

Better still, it’s literally home to Will, Sam, Jen and Brad, all undertaking exciting urban endeavors and doing their part to keep Summer in the City sharp all year round.

Our wish list…
  • Beds and Bedding
  • Rugs and Runners
  • Flatware and Silverware
  • Lamps and Drapes
  • Fans and Space Heaters
  • Vacuum and Lawn Mower
  • Laptop and Scanner
  • Picture Frames
  • Lawn Furniture
  • Tables (coffee, especially)
  • Chairs (easy, especially)
  • Bikes and locks and helmets
         (For a fleet for city tours!)

OpenHouseWarming … And You’re Invited!

Help us make our house a home – and a warm one at that! We all go through our annual autumnal SITC withdrawal, hence the fiesta on Saturday, September 17 from 10 AM to 10 PM. There’s no need to RSVP, unless you have a favorite dish you want to share. Bring your friends and your appetite.
