Scenes from the 606 (9/16/22)

Today, Bob and I walked to our closest L station to plan my route tomorrow to visit my aunts, who are in the Near South Side neighborhood of Chicago, just north of Chinatown. Bob’s hip didn’t enjoy the outing, so he headed back to our current residence, while I continued the walkabout that we had planned.

The California L stop on the Blue Line

I walked down Milwaukee from the California L stop on the blue line towards the 606, or Bloomingdale Trail. I have seen signage for both. I have run on the trail but wanted Bob to see it and also wanted to get some photos.

Walking up to the elevated 606 trail to the Milwaukee Street entrance.

Street scenes from the trail.
Cute homes with tidy lawns.
Another interesting home
This is the Humboldt Overlook,
which includes the main wide trail and then a narrower area on each side
for sitting and overlooking.

and Humboldt Boulevard (our street) below.

We also continue to be amused by Wilma, aka Silly Willy.
