Milwaukee Ave Part 2

Western Blueline, originally uploaded by kendoman26.

Sunday was the best day we've had in a while and so I took advantage of it by walking down Milwaukee Avenue. This second walk started where the first one left off: Milwaukee- North Avenue-Damen Ave six corner intersection and continued to Milwaukee and Armitage. This is a little west of Western Avenue.

Unlike the first walk, which was heavily commercial this stretch is a little more laid back. There's much more newer construction along this section up till you get to Western Avenue and there wasn't as many photo opportunities along this part.

That's why this blog entry's photo isn't on Milwaukee! What we have here is the restored facade to the Western Avenue Blue line stop just north of Milwaukee Ave. The art-decco facade was the only part of the original station saved. The rest is all new, and it looks really good!

I walked back south-east on Milwaukee until I reached Damen, got on the Damen bus till the end of the line at 35th and took a 35th bus back to Wallace. All in All a nice day to walk around.
