GOLD COAST

For some reason, it amuses me to have some theme for each of my urban hikes when I can. Yesterday my theme, my goal was to walk every street, road, alley, nook and cranny within the boundaries of the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. So I did. When I was done, I remarkably had walked 14 miles. At no point was I more than 1 mile from the point where I started.

Yesterday was the first day of fall although the day felt more like a true summer day as the temperature was in the 80's. As I passed this water fountain which was still operating, I was reminded that it won't be long before these are all shut down with the arrival of winter which is now officially only 90 days away.

from wikipedia...
The Gold Coast Historic District is a historic district in ChicagoIllinois. Part of Chicago's Near North Side community area, it is roughly bounded by North AvenueLake Shore DriveOak Street, and Clark Street.
The Gold Coast neighborhood grew in the wake of the Great Chicago Fire. In 1882, millionaire Potter Palmer moved to the area from the Prairie Avenue neighborhood on the city's south side. He filled in a swampy area which later became Lake Shore Drive, and built the Palmer Mansion, a forty-two room castle-like structure designed by Henry Ives Cobb and Charles Sumner Frost. Other wealthy Chicagoans followed Potter into the neighborhood, which became one of the richest in Chicago..
