A Virtual Tour of Chicago's North Side
If you don't know Chicago, here
is a map that shows the well know points. As you can see, I live on
Irving Park Road, right near the lake. I am about 5 miles (40 blocks)
due north of the "Loop," the traditional center of downtown.
The Loop is still the center of government, commerce and business in
Chicago despite the migration of much of the retailing to the "Boul
Mich" further north along Michigan Avenue.

The
numbers on the map to the left show the location of the 77 officially
identified neighborhoods of Chicago. I live at the northern edge
of Lakeview (6) and I once worked near the Loop (32). For the longest
while I knew nothing in between. Gradually I biked around
the city and got a little bit of a feeling for it. It's a great
city, a big city and a wonderful place to live. |
