Your typical Expressway

Kennedy Expy, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States
By mountainmom01 on Jun 12, 2008
3/5
The Kennedy Expressway takes you around the west side of Chicago. It is the route you would want to take if you weren't wanting to go through downtown Chicago. It is considered "the bypass". There is some construction/maintenance going on which causes some tra...

This is an Amazing View!

S Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By mountainmom01 on Jun 12, 2008
5/5
This is where the Sears Tower is located (there is a parking lot across the street). If you have never been to the Tower you need to make sure to go there while in Chicago. There are so many stores that it is amazing. The building itself has a lot of history. ...

By the Sears Tower

W Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By mountainmom01 on Jun 12, 2008
4/5
This is another great place to visit while you are in Chicago. The Sears Tower is located near this street. The road really needs some maintenance done on pot holes and bumps. The traffic is thick throughout the day but gets really really bad during rush hour....

Beautiful Chapel in this city

N Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By mountainmom01 on Jun 12, 2008
4/5
The only part of this street that I really visited was where it crossed Washington Street. There is a beautiful temple there. Anyone that has a chance to go visit the temple needs to take advantage of the opportunity. There is so much history behind this build...

Oak Street Beach, an oasis in the city

Lakeshore Drive, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States
By wiggleworm7 on Jun 10, 2008
5/5
Oak Street Beach is a bustling gathering place right on Lakeshore Drive and Lake Michigan. One of my all-time favorite beaches, where you may actually catch a pro-volleyball tournament in the summer. The sand is white and the water is cool, and this stretch ...

Great shopping and culture, all in one place

E Kinzie Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By wiggleworm7 on Jun 10, 2008
5/5
By far, one of my favorite places to visit when I am in Chicago is the Merchandise Mart on Kinzie Street. Kinzie Street is just a stone's throw from the Chicago River, and offers beautiful art galleries, shopping, and great restaurants. There is also the Man...

upscale urban neighborhood, Lincoln Park

W Belmont Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By wiggleworm7 on Jun 10, 2008
5/5
Talk about a beautiful neighborhood! I love Lincoln Park at Belmont and Ashland. If you are craving some good old-fashioned home cooking, pop in to Wishbone Restaurant. Otherwise, there are some great shops to visit, and some great coffee shops with sidewal...

beautiful Historic Chicago

E Balbo Drive, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By wiggleworm7 on Jun 10, 2008
4/5
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 fea...

E Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States
By wiggleworm7 on Jun 10, 2008
5/5
E. Randolph Street is such a great place to visit in Chicago. It is home to Grant Park and the new Millenium Park. There is always something going on at either park, all summer long. Grant Park is home to Chicago's annual "Taste of Chicago" where there are ...
