I set out to trace a loop through the Gold Coast. Familiar territory to many who'll come
by this site, I'm sure - this is home ground for the Third Coast and the Three Arts Club, and maybe
a few places a block to the south of no great significance.

The images that you are seeing on this page are just thumbnails of a sort,
if a little fleshier than the usual thumbnail (30 - 60K each). Click on one of them,
and you'll see something more like the original photo; click on the larger image you
see and you'll return to where you were on the page before. (The first one is due for
replacement on the next bright summer day, should the place still be standing at the time).

Starting next to the Three Arts Club, the path that we're following through
the neighborhood takes us down Dearborn, quickly past the bars of Division (those
will get seperate coverage) to the first street past Division (Elm). Going that
way, we come across a few things that we'd probably like to photograph, but as
luck would have it, we're getting toward late afternoon and they're backlit, making
for bad exposures. We'll have to come back for them. Turning on Elm, we do our best
to ignore the bland and tasteless structure that replaced the much missed Ranalli's,
which had been housed in a now-demolished turn of the 20th century mansion (the new
structure still manages to sneak into the left side of the frame) and much of the
block Ranalli's had been on. We are looking down Elm toward Rush Street.
