Welcome to the Patty Turner Center

Included in this statewide program is the Rules of the Road—a review course which provides drivers with the knowledge and confidence needed to obtain or renew their driver's license. It includes a review of safe driving techniques, IL driving laws, and a practice written exam. Following this course, participants can take the vision screening test required to obtain or renew their license. The vision test is valid for up to 90 days for license renewals. A Secretary of State Mobile Driver Services Unit will be on site so that participants may renew their driver's license or obtain a 5-year State of IL identification card.

Chicago takes pride in its brawny, big-shouldered image.We love our skyscrapers, sports and three-inch thick pizza. But even the roughest, toughest Chicagoan has a soft spot for those lions outside the Art Institute and the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza. How does Chicago's amazing collection of public art reflect (and contrast with) the city's personality? WTTW (PBS) host and producer Geoffrey Baer draws from more than 15 years of his TV programs about Chicago history, culture and architecture to offer surprising insights into the city's public art—downtown, in the neighborhoods and all over the region.

Join the fun as the PTC goes German! We'll be celebrating Oktoberfest with Die Lustigen Musikanten—a traditional oompah band— and a delicious lunch from Chicago's Berghoff Restaurant.

This harvest festival is one of the most important holidays celebrated by many Asian cultures. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season and family members and friends gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon. While we cannot celebrate on the actual holiday (9/22/10), we do want you to get a flavor of the event. Due to popular demand, we will again serve a lunch from Dragon Inn North and Jennifer Noone will return to demo the preparation of Won Tons — fried as an appetizer and boiled with a drizzle sauce for a meal entrée.
