The sights of Lake Shore Drive on the Highway 41 end-to-end StreetView trek

 

For the next several posts, the Highway 41 StreetView trek, which I hope to push forward at speed, will feature the many sights on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.   Isn't it remarkable that the southern highway celebrated by the Allman Brothers in Georgia is also the main lakefront roadway in the Windy City?  

It's hard to believe that my last Highway 41 post was December 1st, and now it's December 22.  During the holiday week, I plan to have several posts, and try to get to Wisconsin in January.  (Which in the real world is cold!)


Passing by Chicago's Field Museum. A couple of off-road views to follow.



Looking back on South Lake Shore Drive, it's possible to get a glimpse of the Shedd Aquarium.



Let's get a closer look.





Beyond the Shedd Aquarium is the Adler Planetarium, and also a classic view of downtown Chicago.

First, the Planetarium. The statue of Copernicus is in front.



Next, the view. There are a lot of panoramas available; it's hard to choose just one. This one is pretty good. Don't forget to look behind you.



Across from Grant Park. Looking back south, directly drives to the main facade entrance of the Field Museum.

Next stop, Buckingham Fountain.
