Walking Chicago Loop: LaSalle, Michigan, Etc., September 2024
An early autumn afternoon in late September, I walked downtown Chicago, or specifically the Loop. Trees were still green and flowers in bloom, and the temperature was around lower 70s.
My walk covered six streets: Washington Street, LaSalle Street, Adams Street, State Street, Ida B. Wells Drive and Michigan Avenue.
My walking route was characterized by skyscrapers, old and new. Many office workers were on their way home, especially on LaSalle Street. On Michigan Avenue, however, tourists seemed to be the majority.
I’m not sure how much the views of Chicago Loop seen along my walking route express the entirety of its beauty, but they can definitely provide a glimpse of how vibrant, grand, and elegant it is.

Sometimes when I walk in Chicago, I have the impulse of filming the city. Chicago’s beauty is multifarious and infinite. I don’t want to let the serendipitous beauty slip.

    Love your thoughtful, photographic perspective. So many of these walking tours are just straight ahead hikes and not focusing on what is around the camera. One site you walked by that you missed is the Chase bank plaza on Clark which is a massive sunken plaza with a huge Chagall four sided mosaic that tourists tend to miss nowadays. Also like how you focused on parts of the city that are off the beaten “Bean” track.

    • @PerpetualSolivagant

      I’m very happy to receive such a quality comment from someone who understands my work and is familiar with the city. Your comment is one of the best I have ever received. I’ve been trying to make my videos works of arts, not just showing the beautiful city. I like the plaza you mentioned. I have some videos that include Chase Tower, but probably not the whole site. Sometimes I miss some interesting things along my way probably because I thought I was too familiar with them. But maybe I should pay more attention to these things in the future. They might give me new impressions and also be interesting to my audience. In addition to popular places in Chicago, I also like exploring less trekked areas.
