A little walk at Chicago's Riverwalk
Hello, Hivers and Wednesday Walkers!
Today I'll share with you a little walk we did on the Chicago Riverwalk during our visit to the city.
Some of you may remember a few days ago I shared a ride on the L in Chicago's Loop and I ended the post by saying that we got off at the Clark/Lake station of the L with the idea of visiting the Riverwalk.
The station was only a block from the riverwalk, so down to the river we walked.
This is the view from one of the many bridges across the Chicago River.
A very curious fact about the Chicago River that flows through the city is that it flows in the opposite direction due to engineering work in the late nineteenth century, which changed the direction of the course of the river to prevent Lake Michigan and the Chicago River itself from continuing to be polluted as a result of the growth of the city and all the waste that reached the river and therefore the lake.
Today, the river flows in the opposite direction and, instead of flowing into Lake Michigan, it flows south into the Mississippi River basin.
More info.
Asi que descendimos por una de las muchas escaleras que a lo largo del rio bajan hasta el riverwalk. Desde alli cambia un poco la perspective con la que se ven los inmensos rascacielos de la ciudad.
We started to walk along the riverwalk, where there were some places to eat that for the time it was, still before noon, had not yet opened.
We were pretty close to Dearborn Street Bridge. From there we had a close view of the Marina City towers, which are those towers on the right of the photo and have the form of corncobs.
We passed under the bridge.
And a reflection pic of the three of us under the bridge. I haven't mentioned it but we did this walk with one of the producers, who was with us at the film festival.
Over the Chicago River, there are many bridges, most of them are drawbridges that open if necessary to allow the passage of large vessels.
We continued on our way and the next bridge we would encounter was the Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Bridge. On that bridge, there were a lot of people waiting in line. It caught our attention and later we found out that it was to buy tickets for that night's show at a Chicago landmark where there are live shows called the House of Blues, but who would be performing, I'll tell you about it another time ;)
The view from under this bridge towards the bridge in Dearborn Street Bridge.
We continued our walk a little further along the river enjoying the incredible views of the imposing architecture of the city.
Along the promenade, there are some green areas where people can sit and contemplate the view of the river.
As we approached the DuSable Bridge, the bridge over Michigan Avenue, we realized that it was time to end our tour.
So when we reached the bridge, we climbed the stairs that would lead us to the avenue. And of course, we couldn't miss taking some pictures of the Riverwalk from that bridge.
The day was beautiful, the sky was clear and Chicago looked magnificent. I would have liked to do the boat ride to see the architecture of the city but during our visit, we didn't have time for everything we wanted to do. I hope it can be a next time as I hope for more visits to the Windy City.
This was our visit to the riverwalk, although we would have loved to walk a little more we were short of time and had to return to the hotel to continue with our agendas for the day.

How cool.
Looks a little like Canary Wharf in London
It looks like you had some beautiful weather and bright blue skies Super Eli 💙
But did the windy city live up to its reputation?
I would say that the weather treated us well because despite April being a rainy month, it rained very little, but the wind was something else. 😆 We had a couple of very windy and cold days. 🥶 I was surprised that the temperature from one day to the next could vary more than 10 degrees.
How are you? Did you get over your cold?
Well we have had the coldest Arpil for years and May is not much better. Yes colds are getting there, it seemed more head cold and sinusitis.
The wind hehe be ready for it in the UK Super Eli :)
Jaja I'm always ready ;)
jaja too funny
Es un hermoso lugar, las fotos se ven muy bien permite disfrutar del paseo 😉
Sí es precioso la verdad, gracias por pasarte por aquí.
Beautiful… so much to see.
A lovely day out.
Hope to visit the city one day too 😊

Very lovely tall buildings, the environment looks so much well planned, unlike the city I live in.
#wednesdaywalk is worth it
Nice place to walk...👍
It is a very beautiful place
I would love to visit one day
Your photos help me travel along as I read your article
Thank you for sharing
Have a great day
Regards
Thank you for stopping by :)
This looks like a place similar here!
It was a river Pasig river and long that side of all you can see are talk buildings.
Sadly, it was polluted and contaminated years ago!
Ah, hope you are okay after the walk as I can see the blue sky! Was it hot? 🥵
Well, because of the blue sky, it may look hot but it wasn't! hehe. The truth is that it was very cold that day ;)
Wow... Lovely view. So amazing and one day I will hopefully see this physically 😀
Whoaaaa, the tall building is just pretty and scary at the same time, the clear blue sky and everything, i feel like if I saw those huge buildings, I'll experience a headache just by looking at them. We don't have that in our province I'm curious how floors it has. And I can tell how much you enjoy that walk in there, it's one memorable walk too I presume ✨🤩
The city is very impressive. There are no skyscrapers like that here either. I think the tallest building in Chicago if I remember correctly has more than 100 floors but you can't see it in any of these pictures;) And yes, it was a memorable walk indeed 🤗😘

Thank you, Pink! We are back home, but we enjoyed a wonderful week there. 🤗😘
Some towers of corn cobs, a river flowing contrary... a jazzman (whose identity keeps us in suspense) up to here.
But my friend, this walk was wonderful. Nice photos and nice memories. I'll keep an eye out for what you have left to tell us.
Best regards.
Hehe, well the identity of the singer will be revealed in the #threetunetuesday 😉 but I'll give you a preview jeje, it's not a jazzman, it's a female singer. Saludos y gracias por pasarte por aquí 🤗
oh,the House of Blues, a female singer, I can almost guess 😁 hahaha... a joke. I'll keep an eye out for your post.
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
It certainly looks a beautiful day and a beautiful walk too. It looks like you had a great time I’d love to visit Chicago someday
That's such a beautiful walk! Way more advanced and full of experiences than what is usually shared on here as a Wednesday walk, so hats off for that! 😀
Thank you for the kind words and for stopping by:)
Pleasure all mine! Hope you have a great day ☺️
Lovely photos, I would love to visit this part of Chicago and make the walk.

I am always amazed by the buildings in the city. It is just so pretty to stare at it specially when you're in a car and passing by these kind of tall buildings.

This city is so impressive. I imagine I'd feel dizzy if I had to look up at those imposing and intimidating buildings. It looks like such a beautiful place to visit.🥰
Impressive photos of that urban skyline!.... A round of applause for this!.... Thanks for sharing!

Wow the sights are so beautiful, you did a great job with the pictures as well.
Never seen photographs of Chicago from this approach, what a wonderful walk within the city along the river, not something I expected at all.

The walk is beautiful and allows to admire the architecture of the city from a different perspective. The boat ride must be great, we didn't have time to do it. And the day we could have done it the weather was terrible, a lot of wind and some rain, so it will be for another time, I hope 🤞
Happy Sunday, Joan 🤗
Never expected it to be so modern, an eye opener to what one imagines to what exits. Hopefully next time you will get the boat ride. Have a happy Mothers Day from Durban.
Happy Mothers Day to you too 🌸

How fascinating that they could change the flow of the river. That's quite an engineering feat!
It must have been so exciting being in Chicago Eli.
It was great to visit Chicago, Lizzie. And best of all, to be able to be with my son in his new environment and meet his friends and girlfriend;)
How have you been? Happy start of the week 🤗😘
I'm sure being with your son and meeting his girlfriend must be the cherry on the cake.
I've been kept busy on all fronts, and feeling so much better since the hernia repair.
Enjoy your week as well Eli 😘
