Walk #3: Ukranian Village

As we were in Iowa last weekend, we didn't have a chance to do one of our walks. But we're back this weekend with a walk in Ukranian Village.

This week's walk was rather short, and centered around a stretch on Chicago Avenue and on Oakley Boulevard. We saw a couple of incredible Ukranian Catholic churches there, and ate lunch at a funky restored bar called Tuman's on the corner of Chicago and Leavitt. The highlight of the walk was enjoying the quiet, leafy streats around Chicago Avenue. We ended up stopping it at an open house for a condo in the 2258 Huron Lofts. The building is a converted church, and the details inside are incredible. There are apartments where the choir loft used to be, and the apartment we looked at was where the altar area was. Matt and I previously agreed we would wait another year befoore buying a house, but this made me want to buy one right now. I wonder if we'll be able to last another year :)

So the short of it is, we didn't see anything particulary notable, but we really liked the feel of the neighborhood. When we start house hunting for real, we'll go back!
