Lakeshore East/Lake Michigan (Chicago)
Spring is finally coming to Chicago as of yesterday (it snowed as recently as Wednesday) and I grabbed this picture of Lakeshore East and Lake Michigan beyond. Lakeshore East is a small area surrounding a park just east of Chicago's downtown loop. It is incredible that this whole neighborhood was a 9-hole golf course only 20yrs ago or so. Now it has numerous highrises, restaurants, easy access to the lake and easy access to all sorts of touristy stuff in the area. Definitely a spot to swing by during any visit.
I just loved how blue the lake and sky looked in this picture! Hopefully, things continue to warm up and it will be summer in no time!

Thanks for sharing the cool photo. That is really cool that the area used to be a golf course. This reminds me of when I look at the golf course behind the Wynn in Las Vegas and always think that it's a terrible use of very valuable real estate. I think the land would be better used with high rises much like your photo.
Yeah, that is a good point - I always thought of the golf course as cool/convenient to have near the strip but it is probably a money pits versus what a couple of hotel/casinos would bring in...
Finally! Someone else who works in the loop! I have not seen many people from Chicago on here and stumbled upon your blog from notorious562 pushup challenge!! Small world!
Great to meet you! I was just thinking about how I haven't met anyone on here from Chicago! Even despite my efforts to get friends to join...
Me too!! I only have one friend who blogs but every one is staying on facebook or main stream stuff only.
