Chicago's New Riverwalk Extension by taffy

Chicago's New Riverwalk Extension

Had lunch at a restaurant on the Chicago River to celebrate a friend's birthday, then walked the river walk from there to Lake Michigan. It's so beautifully designed from seating to restaurants to landscaping. A huge positive addition to the city's attractions.

all these superb shots of the windy city makes me want to go there
September 29th, 2015  
Beautiful place, but you captured it really well.
September 29th, 2015  
@tunia Enjoy your time here. It's just cooled off but it still should be beautiful along the river. If you have questions, tag me.
September 29th, 2015  
Very cool. I'm so impressed with what Chicago is doing to make the city "user friendly". The darker color in the brick work, that must be a walkway, right? Looks like the trees have been growing there awhile already.
September 29th, 2015  
@lyndemc
Exactly -- the darker bricks have no stairs, but simply a gradual incline. This all opened up sometime this summer while I was on Beaver Island, so they must have planted fairly large trees to begin with. I think they'll be amazing when they fill out a bit more.
September 29th, 2015  
It's so attractive and on a sunny day it must be a great place to hang out. It's very inviting and looks like anyone could walk it. Great shot!
September 29th, 2015  
Oh this looks very inviting!
September 30th, 2015
