My Day Off - Chicago - Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Roscoe Village, the Perfect Hotdog
I decided to take a day for myself. I started the day on a quest for the perfect hot dog. I have heard that Hot Dougs in Roscoe Village is the place to go. So I started walking. These are my pictures, this is my story.

Leaving Lincoln Park



There is a lot of funny housing in LP. I always get stuck taking photos of different Housing.




I typically like simple buildings


Up Lincoln Ave we go...


Passing Mr Tin Man




Enter Lakeview












Lincoln and Belmont
I like this building. It treats the corner very well. A good example of a modern flatiron building.


Getting Hungry


Roscoe Village - its an upscale part of the city with a lot of boutiques, restaurants in a leasant pedestrian environment.





The streets are really clean here


Typical residential character




Some crappy modern




Typical street frontage


I have arrived. California and Roscoe


Its 10:30 in the morning and there is a line out the door.


Bacon Sausage


Elk Sausage


The spread with Duck Fat Fries


After stuffing myself with sausage and duck fat fries, I made my way over to the Belmont Red Line Station via neighborhood streets.


One of many converted churches into residential use













Some more obscure stuff


A little study I did below the Metra tracks












Crowded in


I took the Red Line to Roosevelt and went to the Field Museum to see the Map exhibit, which is an amazing exhibit.

OMP - Reminds me of a mini Burj Dubai






That funny sculpture in Grant Park




OMP


At the field museum


Aquarium Nearby


The wonderful Interior


Sue






Trump Rising from the Southside


It was an extremeley Beautiful Day

Outstanding. Roscoe Village is one of my favorite Chicago 'hoods. I always love having brunch at Victory's Banner.

Nice photos. Being on a laptop though, they're a bit big for my screen (plenty of left & right scrolling...the Belmont/Lincoln one was *enormous*). I certainly appreciate the effort in taking & posting the photos though!

Spectacular photo's. However, the best hotdog stand in all of Chicago is at Wrightwood and Clark, the 'Wieners Circle'. When I'm in Chicago I never miss it.

Wonderful photos! I love your eye for detail and the way you work with skies.

I'll be in Chicago next week (22nd) again, and I'm hoping for good walkabout weather. It never gets old; there's always something new, or at least something I hadn't noticed before.

There will be snow on the ground and an arctic chill in the air. Wear lots & lots & lots of layers.
