Hyde Park

Today, I took the express bus down to Hyde Park and wandered around the University of Chicago campus with smartphone in hand.
Hyde Park literally feels a world apart from the Loop and the rest of Chicago, despite being just a few miles down Lake Shore Drive.
First, a view of Midway Plaisance, a long, parklike expanse of green that stretches from Washington Park across Hyde Park.
Apartment tower rising high above Hyde Park.
Concrete desert as seen from the 55th Street Green Line, the closest El station to Hyde Park. A short bus ride away, but a world away.
