Chicago: Northside Southside Westside

No Downtown skyscrapers! This is the swan song photoset for my stock lens on my nikon. It took over 90,000 photos and I dropped it last summer, but it finally "broke" a couple weeks ago. I've ordered a brand new lens with wider angles, which I plan to showcase in my next set when I head out to Los Angeles to see family this Tuesday.

I hope you enjoy. I had to resist throwing in downtown photos. Enjoy the neighborhoods.









































Glad the snow is finally gone















































































The End

If you need at least one downtown photo fix, here's a shot from the office

A non-downtown tour is exactly what we need more of.

Great set, Hayward

This city is so awesome.

Nicely done.

I've been meaning to check out that block of Calumet at Pershing, it looks neat.

I love the carriage. I was over there the other day and saw people walking past cabrini on Halstead with sur la table bags. Crazy to think about it. Great photos!

These are the best photo tours. The downtown thing is just way too overdone on this site.
