Chicago is lucky to have an abundance of spectacular green spaces. It's
refreshing to stumble upon a small space of nature, tucked away from the
hustle of the city. Unfortunately, Chicago is not blessed with the type
of weather in which its residents can enjoy these green spaces year round.
Fortunately, there is a place one can find reprieve from the
undesirable weather conditions (I'm looking at you winter!), even if
only for an afternoon.
I'm a sucker for street art. Thankfully, Chicago is littered with some great pieces. When I discovered a stretch of wall that runs along the 16th Street viaduct in the Chicago neighborhood of Pilsen via Instagram, I knew I had to pay a visit. The art on this wall is an initiative between the neighborhood and the Chicago Urban Art Society. It allows various street artists, many of whom are internationally
known, to beautify the landscape. It is definitely worth the trek to Pilsen to see some really amazing work by some greatly talented artists.
