Lawrence from JP to Lincoln Square has to be one of the most diverse streets in the world. The street contains Polish, Bulgarian, Serbian, Korean, Cuban, Arabic, Turkish, Mexican, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Greek, German and more communities. The languages change nearly everyblock.

Outstanding variety. My mom is a native of Albany Park.

[STLgasm]

Yeah, what Jive said!

[jonjj]

Beautiful shots of a beautiful city.

[ChrisLA]

Awesome set, its always a nice to see other parts of the city other than the Loop, and Michigan Avenue. :tup:

BTW thanks for sharing that shot of the Trump Tower. I hadn't see the progress in a while.

[Kingofthehill]

Think you can post here more often? :slob: :tup:

Pretty good to see out of the ordinary Chicago stuff! BTW the picture of the L is lovely!

[OhioGuy]

I've had too many frustrating experiences on Lawrence that I prefer to put that nightmare of a street out of my memory forever. But nice photos! :)

[Thundertubs]

That stretch of Lawrence is my favorite Chicago streetscape. It's got so much going on. Milwaukee to Lincoln is quite a hike!

[Sekkle]

missed your photos these past few weeks. Glad to know your camera is back in working condition! :tup:

[AdrianXSands]

nice pictures sir.


...why is it that you and i just happen to post on the same day and within hours of each other? :hmmm:

[Cbautz]

I've had too many frustrating experiences on Lawrence that I prefer to put that nightmare of a street out of my memory forever. But nice photos! :)

What happened?

Adrian, The weather and light were awesome that day.

Thundertubs- That stretch is amazing for its cultural diversity. I've taken the bus before but never walked it. 4 Miles but probably the most interesting 4 miles in the city. Its much easier to take the Brownline to Kimball and visit the heart.

Thanks for the comments. I'll probably get out more to Albany Park try all the restaurants and buy a bunch of socks at Socksco.

[cbotnyse]

nice work. I always enjoy your threads.

[ColDayMan]

Great shots!

[daithi]

I'm really digging these photos! Great job! I wasn't able to make it to the Uptown area like I had planned during my visit in January. Thanks for sharing!

[Cbautz]

Thanks. I try and visit as many areas in the city as possible. Chicago is a lot larger and diverse than many people may realize.

[edsg25]

Yeah, what Jive said!

I've been dying to ask this one forever: who did mom love best? and didn't you guys say she went to Evanston High?

[Evergrey]

ooo... I love Bulgarian cuisine!

Cool pic, but what's up with all the fake people ?

[Cbautz]

^its a pic for that Cafe, It will eventually be a posed shot with actual people.

That's one of my favorite intersections! Hit a bar up the street after a Cubs game where they were showing a replay, then caught some jazz, then put out a fire at John Barleycorn.

Wonderful tour!

[Osprey]

Yep, that's Chicago, and you make it look so damn good.
