The Sixth Ward presents Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool

 

[VIDEO] I posted this to The Sixth Ward's YouTube channel earlier this month. It shows my visit back in 2014 to the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool in Lincoln Park. It's a great place within a busy metropolis to chill for a moment. You might forget you're not too far away from the busy Lake Shore Drive.

You're actually within the confines of a major public park and you're actually steps away from Lincoln Park Zoo of which this area was once a part. Of course this place fell into disrepair at one point in the past and then received the TLC it deserves in recent years.

It's one of the many things I would like to share on my YouTube channel since I liken usage of that service to taking you places you never knew existed. I expressed this in my plans to visit Springfield, Illinois in the near future - especially to see the Illinois General Assembly in action.

I have a list of places within the city I like to share with you all especially if you've never been.

• DuSable Museum
• Shedd Aquarium - named for Shedd School's namesake John G. Shedd
• Field Museum - never been sadly
• Museum of Science & Industry
• Lincoln Park Zoo

Easy places to visit off the top of my head and hopefully once we get out of this pandemic. I'm thinking of other places to share without not just within Chicago or Illinois but around the nation as well. Because I like to share with you places I've visited and certainly to bring you places you've either never been or never knew existed.

So I hope you enjoy my presentation of the Caldwell Lily Pool on one summer day over six years ago.
