Weekend in Chicago (Part I)

I had a wonderful time in Chicago last weekend with my friends Phil, Noelle, John, Liana and Curtis. The last time I visited the "Windy City" was in April 2008.

While in Chicago we stayed with our friend Nathanial (right) in the community area of Edgewater on the city's North Side.

One of the first things we did upon arrival was walk from Nate's apartment building (above) to nearby Thorndale Avenue Beach, also known as Lane Beach Park (below).
