On a recent trip to Chicago, I traveled the entire length of
Clark Street, from its intersection with Ashland Ave. then south.
Clark Street passes through the Andersonville Commercial
Historic District.
Graceland Cemetery is on the east side of Clark Street from
Montrose Avenue to its entrance at Irving Park Road.
One of my favorite coffee house spots for music was Uncommon
Ground.
The Metro concert hall is located at 3730 North Clark
Street, just a block north of Addison Street. At the intersection of Clark and
Addison is Wrigley Field, the home of the Cubs.
Another commercial strip on Clark Street stretches from
Diversey Parkway south to Armitage Avenue. Further to the south Clark Street
borders Lincoln Park, and at North Avenue sits the Chicago History Museum. Also at this corner is the Moody Bible
Church.
The street then passes through the Near North Side, and our
often mispronounced cross-street of Goethe. In the River North neighborhood, we pass the Newberry Library, my first downtown apartment, Oakwood, and the Walgreens where I always
knew the price of milk.
Then it continues over the Chicago River at the Clark Street
Bridge and through the Loop, where it passes the Thompson Center and its
Monument with Standing Beast.
Clark Street continues between City Hall and the Daley
Center and on to its termination at Cermak Road.
