Budlong Woods and North Park in Chicago
We talked about Budlong Woods and North Park (our neighborhood) in the blog posts about our search for mid-century modern in the vicinity. But I wanted to take a moment to talk about the revitalization of the area itself.
This area of Budlong Woods is nice. North Park and Budlong Woods share the banks of the North Shore Channel. (The North Branch of the Chicago River flows along the south border of North Park). There are some lovely restoration projects going on which are making the river more healthy and recreational again.
There are paths for runners, walkers, bikers and skaters. And for people who peddle ice cream carts.
Canoeing and kayaking the rivers are becoming popular now that they are cleaner...
And, Saturday mornings are a great time to catch a baseball game between the Cubs and the Orioles...
Well, the OTHER Cubs and Orioles. The shorter ones. In fact, I am in love with the fact that, when they are sitting in the "dugout"? Their feet don't touch the ground.
HOW CUTE IS THAT??!!!???
