Nice!

I just drove past there last month on a visit to see my folks who no. For old-time's sake we took the Edens Expy to Touhy, under the new ped/bike overpass by where the Purple Hyatt Hotel used to be in Lincolnwood, hopped on Lincoln, Ave and then down to Peterson, to Ridge to Hollywood to Lake Shore Drive and down to Northwestern Hospital just east of Michigan Ave, at Superior.

When I passed McCormick and Lincoln I thought of you and this thread.

The drive from my childhood home in Lincolnwood to the Loop is 10 miles (a safe bike route down the lakefront would be ~12). My bike commute here in Colorado Springs is 9 miles. That drive to the Loop growing up seemed soooo much longer. Maybe it's all the different neighborhoods we passed through.
