Lake Shore Drive (aka Highway 41) passes by or through Chicago's McCormick Place

 

McCormick Place is Chicago's lakefront convention center.  It had a massive fire in 1967, but was rebuilt bigger and better in 1971.  And the Highway 41 StreetView end-to-end trek goes right past it, as it is on the lake shore and all.


The little building has a pretty mural on it.  Pan around if you don't see it, it's in front of the lake.




Passing by Morgan Point.




This fancy pedestrian bridge transforms pedestrians into beachgoers at Oakwood Beach.




Pedestrian bridge at 35th Street.




So now this is by McCormick Place, Chicago's lakefront convention and exhibition center (as was said up top). Looking to the southeast, there's also a bird sanctuary.  Various parts of McCormick Place are on either side of Lake Shore Drive.




Another view of McCormick Place, and OH MY GOD to the north (red arrow pointing up) is downtown Chicago! It DOES exist!
