CHICAGO Trip (2/23/13) Pictures, Part 6: Day 4, Part 1 (Lincoln Park)
Hey again, Chicago forumers! I apologize for the long delay, but here's the first set of my final day in Chicago in February 2012! This time, I toured Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, Old Town, and the Gold Coast. Here is the first part, mainly focused on Lincoln Park itself.
Started on the north shore, on Chicago Avenue...  Looking up at the YMCA Building, built around 1930  Handsome commercial block on the corner of Clark and Chicago...  Former Cosmopolitan State Bank building  Former Chicago Post Office  Chicago "L" Train Purple/Brown Line station  Couple of shots taken from the "L" train...   Diversey station, in Lincoln Park  Holy Covenant Church on Diversey Parkway in Lincoln Park, one of Chicago's upper-class communities    Cheesy newer urban apartment buildings...     One of Lincoln Park's commercial drags...    Commercial block at Halsted and Diversey    The handsome Landmark Century Theatre, located on Clark Street, north of Diversey   Days Inn...  That Lenscrafters store looks like an old theatre...  Same with this building on Clark Street...  Commercial Strip on Clark Street    Continuing east on Diversey...  Queen Anne Victorian House, now a bar...  Apartments on Pine Grove and Diversey     The historic and famous Brewster Apartments... was featured in the movies, "Child's Play" and "Running Scared". Charlie Chaplin also lived here in his prime.     Pine Grove Apartments     Looking east on Diversey towards Lake Michigan      Second Church of Christ Scientist...   Francis J. Dewes House, built in 1896, Chicago Eclectic Architecture...   August Dewes House, built in 1896    Magnificent Building in Lincoln Park's commercial area, on Clark Street...    More Historic Homes/Townhouses in Lincoln Park...      Lincoln Park 2520 apartment building under construction...   Looking up at one of Chicago's hundreds of apartment towers...  Elk National Veterans Memorial    The actual Lincoln Park itself, you can see the John Hancock Center and buildings of the Magnificent Mile very faintly in the background...  Apartment Buildings in Lincoln Park  Looking south on North Pond     More historic townhouses...                 Historic Apartment Buildings in Lincoln Park       Lincoln Park Manor    Episcopal Church of our Savior, on Fullerton  Historic homes on Fullerton   Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church       St. Pauls United Church of Christ...    In the Main Business Area of Lincoln Park, this commercial building is on the corner of Lincoln Avenue, Orchard, and Holden   Children's Hospital           Homes and Townhouses in around Dickens Avenue...              Located on the NW corner of Dickens and Clark is the building Balki and Larry lived in from the third season on of "Perfect Strangers".    More of Lincoln Park...   South Pond, with Chicago skyline in the distance...  Lincoln Park Zoo  It's Free Admission, in case you are wondering...  Camels  Deer  Zebra   Gorillas       Something I never thought I would ever see, Canada Geese and Flamingoes together...    Ducks! I would presume they are not from Anaheim, California.    Couple of swans found their way here...  Lions Den...  Female Lion  Jaguar  Lynx   Monkeys of some kind...  Small Animal House...  Statue in Lincoln Park...  South Pond again...  More scenes from around Lincoln Park...    Benjamin Franklin statue, but, this isn't Philadelphia?!  Hope you enjoyed this phototour, the 2nd part of the 4th day (and last part of my Chicago trip) COMING SOON!

In my eye, they have more character, soul, and history to be pictured than today's world-class, cosmopolitan, and sprawling cities.

Great photo tour you've put together there, and this set is especially well done. It reminds me how vast and amazing Lincoln Park is. Well done!

I see that you took a picture of my turn-of-the-century condo building by North Pond.
Thanks. I love these pics of the neighborhood. |
