Community Profile: Evanston, Illinois Evanston today is a vibrant and diverse community, with many varied activities and cultural interests. It is the city which gave the world Tinkertoys (invented here in 1914), and originated the name for the ice cream sundae. The World's Largest Garage Sale takes place here once a year, as does the Fountain Square Arts Festival, blocking off one of the busiest streets to display hundreds of arts and crafts. With a healthy offering of arts events, a lakefront devoted to public recreation, and a thriving business environment, Evanston's future has never looked better.
