July 10, 2019 was the anniversary of George Wellington "Cap" Streeter running his boat aground in Streeterville. The first annual Run A 'Ground Pizza Party had a great turn-out despite a temperature of 102° Gail & Dennis spoke about Cap Streeter's significance to the neighborhood.

A special performance featured Alderman Brian Hopkins channeling the colorful spirit of Cap Streeter. The celebration was inspired by the artist's larger-than-life sculpture of Cap Streeter that stands on the corner of McClurg Court just a few blocks west of Navy Pier in Chicago, IL.
