Jackson Park

Took a walk around the Jackson Park area yesterday.

How does anyone live near Chicago for so many years without ever walking these paths?

Oh, yeah, because there's a slum directly to the south. Hey Daley, that's your next project; now that you've fixed up the Drive start working on the neighborhoods right off of it.

Our walk started near the triangualar section at the bottom center (where the "Golden Lady" (Statue of the Republic) resides), a little east then north along the path. Past a driving range (with some of the oldest bathrooms in the city?) then through a bird sanctuary. Turning west briefly, just south of the pond at the back of the Fine Arts Palace/Museum of Science and Industry. Then back south, through the island, with a visit to the Osaka Garden along the way.

We should have taken pictures of those bathrooms, I'm telling you. :) They weren't too grimy for the amount of history they've seen.
