A short walk in Hyde Park, Chicago
Hello, Hivers and Wednesday's walkers!
This was another walk on our visit to Chicago last April. Today we are going to walk through a less touristy area. It's one of Chicago's south-side neighborhoods, Hyde Park. During our stay in the city, we spent a couple of nights in an Airbnb in the area to be near the University and our son. So I invite you to join me on this short walk we took one sunny afternoon, after moving into the Airbnb, on 53rd Street in Hyde Park and one of its parks.
We took a bus that dropped us off at the corner of 53rd St. and Kenwood Ave. where we noticed the Chaka Khan sign I mentioned in Chaka, Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan for TTT. Do you see it in the corner?
We walked along 53rd Street. On this street, there are many shops and places to eat.
And also some street vendors. This area is very different from the Loop (downtown Chicago).
We hadn't had lunch and were walking around to see what would tempt us, when suddenly we saw it, a Five Guys. We couldn't resist the temptation.
I've stopped eating burgers outside home but I remembered Five Guys as the best of its kind and it had been so long since we'd had one and it didn't disappoint. Just as good as I remembered.
Nearby we stumbled upon Barack and Michelle Obama's kissing rock. A commemorative place on the street where they had their first date and kissed for the first time.
The rock with the plaque is in a corner of a parking lot of various locals, among them the Baskin-Robbins. My son was craving a milkshake so we went in.
We continued our walk and passed by this church.
At the side of the church, this flowery tree deserved a picture. Don't you think?
We kept walking until we reached Nichols Park.
A small urban park, very nice to walk around.
The arrival of spring was noticeable in the park with beautiful flowers.
My big boy and I chilling in the park and taking some photos for Wednesday's Walk.
We continued through the park heading south.
And we made it through the park to 55th Street.
After leaving Nichols Park, we walked toward the University of Chicago campus, but I'll tell you about that walk another time.

Great walk, lovely park and some great experiences. Spring time is beautiful time! Oh Five Guys a good tasty burger. I can feel it weighing me down from here, haha.
Hehe! I love those burgers and haven't had one in a while. No Five Guys here
Lovely gardens to enjoy in the city, nice walk with your son on the day!

What a wonderful walk , the park looks so nice. Visiting Chicago must be a good experience 💕
Sometimes eating outside is irresistible😁, especially if you know how good the food is. With that kind of weather, it's chilling to have a walk. I would guess it's still cold even with that bright blue skies.♥️
The rock where Barack and Michelle kissed for the first time, wow!😊 Beautiful walk Eli. We also have Hyde park here.😊 Big hug amiga!🤗🥰
Hello, Jelena! I hope you are fine, amiga. Big hugs 😘🥰
Super Eli these are gorgeous, the sky is so blue and I love the blossom tree. It is so American, we have Five Guys here but I have never tried, I really do try to use independent shops than chains.
Is Rorro coming home for summer, I just realised we are there already although it seems there will be no summer this year. Just catching up on Hive now Super Eli 💙
Hola hola, Super Ed 💙
I don't use to go to chains here to be honest. But Five Guys burgers are very good, at least in the US. And I tried it once in Madrid and it was good too.
Rorro is working during the summer but will be home for a couple of weeks in August.
And you? Tell me how was your anniversary getaway with Mrs. T. How did it go?
I do see them in the cities but never went to one. Ah well a couple of weeks is better than nothing Super Eli💙
The anniversary getaway was action packed and fun, but the weather let us down, I think Amsterdam rained more than it was dry!
But first up mi querida is a beer post from Newcastle as you invited me ....
I love discovering less touristy spots, and that kissing rock story about the Obamas is so sweet.😍
It's very sweet, right? They lived in that neighborhood for a long time so it's kind of a tribute as well.
It was a nice ride especially because you were with your son, and for us to be with our children is more than enough, but those pictures are precious. And you look happy. That stone where Obama and his wife had their first kiss, what a nice detail in your walk. Amiga thank you for sharing. My regards and nice Thursday. 🥰❤️
Thank you, Mamani 💕 You are right to be able to be with our children is a big joy. And yes, I was very happy those days with my big boy.
A big hug and happy week to you 😘
