In the early 50s while in the navy school at great lakes Chicago The weekends were spent in the Chicago town. A great liberty town.
Great set. Love the Pavilion shot.
Paul, 6F, that's pretty cold to be walking around at 6:30am. However, your pictures speak volumes. Thanks for sharing.

Brrrrr. Chicago is a great city.... in May!
Thank you Elliott, Earnest, tommyII, EdR, Hal, Jim, Moondoggie, Steve! Really, after you've spent a day or two in the temps around 0F, you have your layers selected and you're overall used to it. People where out in shorts and T's yesterday when the sun and temps hit the mid 40s.

Thank you DelRae! Glad you enjoyed.
This article is probably behind a paywall if you don't already subscribe to the NY Times. The read is long, but deeply interesting, on the history of Chicago and our current issues with the lake. Best are the numerous pictures you'll likely note as many of the same places I visit with a camera.
The time sequence of Lake Michigan at North Avenue for 2013 - 2017 -2020 are the location of many of the images in this post, from ground-level rather than satellite.
