The pub crawl kicks off at 3 p.m. from Sean’s Rhino Bar, 10330 S. Western Ave., Chicago, and continues with stops at bars and restaurants along Western Avenue. This “cocktails for a cause” event is an opportunity for neighbors to have a great time while also raising funds that support BAPA’s work in the Beverly Hills/Morgan Park neighborhood.

The Glessner House Museum paid tribute to Simmerling upon his death on 2013:

“Jack impacted the hearts and lives of many through the years, and all who met him were deeply touched by his gentle manner, generous nature, and his deep passion for the Victorian era and Chicago’s historic architecture. A talented artist, his watercolors and pen and ink drawings grace the walls of many homes, libraries, museums, and schools, and now form an important part of his legacy.”
