A: Once out of the metro station, you are in a small square with several restaurants and murals and the relaxed atmosphere of the place may encourage you to stop right away for a drink.

Otherwise, take ... Ave toward the south/downtown (on your left as you exit the metro) then ... Street on your right or the next street, ... Ave (the one indicated on the map).

Both are residential, both have their particular character depending on the houses that line them, and both will lead you to... Park once you cross ... Blvd.

B: ... Park is one of the many parks that dot the city and are linked together by large tree-lined avenues bordered by mansions. Their total area makes Chicago the greenest city in the USA, and this is not a coincidence, but the result of a political decision taken in the 19th century to provide recreational spaces for the inhabitants.

This works well since even though ... Park is relatively small compared to others, you will see people there reading, sunbathing or picnicking on the lawns. Still others run along a track that circles the park while children play in a space reserved for them. If the weather permits, sit on a bench and observe, you will get to know a little better the population of the area.

Then, once you have crossed the park, you will see ... Blvd which you will take on the right until ... Ave on your left.

C: Your goal is the ... Center and Bookstore at 3301 ... Ave.

The map suggests a way to reach it, but you can follow your fancy to explore the streets of the neighborhood until you come to this imposing building which sits at the junction of ... Ave and N. Spaulding Ave.

You will then be in the historic center of ...Square with many shops and restaurants further along ... Ave.

Enter the building if it is open and ask to visit the galleries to see the colorful and geometric paintings of ..., an American spiritual master (despite his assumed name), founder of the ... movement in the 1970s.
