Balbo Avenue is not a street that jumps immediately to mind for people visiting Chicago. It is a tiny stretch of road right off Lakeshore Drive, but offers a lot on that tiny Avenue. From Balbo, you can gaze at the beautiful Buckingham Fountain, which is featured in the intro to Married with Children. You can also walk across Balbo to reach Soldier Field for a tailgate party before a Bears game, or maybe a big concert venue.
