Walk #5: Ukranian Village, Wicker Park, & Bucktown

We took around a seven mile walk Saturday through Ukranian Village, Wicker Park, and Bucktown. It was a lot warmer than what we thought so it wasn't very enjoyable. I think that we like the walks that are more historical and this walk took us around many different high fashion boutiques...not somewhere that you want to go after sweating! We stopped at a cute bar and grill for a late lunch though and we thought that there was a Jamba Juice near the end of our walk but there wasn't so we had to stop at 7/11 for a refreshment. The majority of the pictures are from Ukranian Village (the shortest portion of the walk: only 1 mile) but it had the most scenic views.

St. Nicholas Ukranian Catholic Cathedral

The front brick building is the Ukranian Cultural Center and the amazing structure in the back is the Volodymir and Olha Ukranian Catholic Church

You can see the changes that are being made in Ukranian Village as people are moving in. This building was once a school (written in Cyrillic) and now is stylish lofts.

Walking home we saw in the background the Chicago skyline. The far left tall building is the John Hancock and the far right tall building is the Sears Tower.

No walk for us today...we are pooped from this long week of vacations and certainly not ready to head back to work/school this week. Well...I am pretty excited about starting school again actually!
