I finished reading My Heart is an Idiot a couple weeks ago. The author lived in Chicago for a bit and had several essays in the book where he mentioned Chicago.
In one essay he mentioned the skyline view from Augusta & Wood. I was curious so I decided to go for a bike ride and check out this "amazing" view of the skyline.
This was it, people.
Hmmm....
I think I had a better view on the Damen bridge just north of Fullerton on my way there.
I am a sucker for the unexpected skyline views around the city (like on Damen). I'll also throw in the view from Chicago and Halsted. Also the orange line between Western and 35th/Archer is pretty amazing.
Do you have any places you love to take in the unexpected view?
I'm not talking the Adler... I consider that expected.

Well it looks like you can see a few buildings in there. Maybe he was talking about from that area and a few floors up? ;) Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had some friends who used to live on Augusta and Damen and the view from the roof was pretty spectacular - also they once put up a temporary ferris wheel on Augusta and the view was breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI love the Chicago & Halsted view as well as the view I had from the roof of my dorms on 31st & Wabash!
Alright so now I just have to find someone who lives at Augusta and Damen :)
