Logan Blvd., #7
Logan Blvd. from Kedzie to the Kennedy Expressway is a revelation. I had heard about it -- it's a part of Chicago's belt system of green, tree-lined parkways (Midway Plaisance, Garfield Blvd., Western Blvd., Douglas Blvd, Independence Blvd. are some of them) connecting major parks: Jackson, Washington, Gage, Douglas, Washington, and Humboldt.
They were always lined with grand churches and mansions and elegant apartment buildings, or, in the case of Midway Plaisance, University of Chicago campus buildings. Garfield Blvd, Western Blvd., Independence Blvd. and Douglas Blvd. have fallen on hard times, but Logan has kept its former elegance, and attracted buyers who have been priced out of Lincoln Park and Lake View.
The joggers, the Starbucks on Francisco, the yuppie woman walking the short-haired pointer who was alerting at every squirrel -- mute testimony to this area's resurgence.
I suspect the attendance at local CAPS meetings is more than just a faithful few -- on the east end of the boulevard, just west of the Kennedy Expressway, sat a Chicago police SUV.
