U of Chicago – Hyde Park - October 4, 2005

Return to Chicago Index

I got off the train at the 57th Street Metra Station.

A new coffee shop, handy to the station.

Walking west along 57th Street, some of the businesses near the Metra line.

The Center for Advanced Medicine at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

Parking garage views

Chicago Parks Department buildings in Washington Park on Cottage Grove Avenue

Just after I left the clinic, fire trucks came from both directions. Some turned into the hospital complex while others stood by a block away. Soon the ones standing by left.

Midway Plaisance was the site of the midway for the 1893 Columbian Exposition

During my stay at the hospital several years ago, the helicopter took off several times a day (and night) from the pad on the roof

Walking back and forth between the Metra station and the clinic, I passed the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel many times before it occurred to me to go inside and look.

1910 Robie House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright recently went through a major restoration. I haven’t visited it since the work was finished.

Walking back to the Metra station, a courtyard off 57th Street

Waiting for my train back to South Bend. Not this one …

Functional sculpture

Neither of these …

Here it is!

Back home again in Indiana, at Michiana Regional Airport in South Bend.
