The Bay View Neighborhood Association has announced the 2009 line-up of its summer Tuesday-night concert series at the Humboldt Park band shell, Chill on the Hill. The series has grown in the past four years to become one of the neighborhood's flagship events, filling the park's band shell with 1,500-plus patrons and picnickers on especially clement nights. As usual, this year's line-up features a hodge-podge of genres, all of them family-friendly. Headliners begin at 6:30 p.m., with openers warming up the crowd at 6 p.m.
