This memorial was a pleasant surprize to me the other day while walking along the river. The submarine door immediately draws attention to the memorial. This historical reminder of naval service is surrounded by nicely designed sidewalks and plants. An Army veteran like myself was touched by the tribute to my naval counterparts.
5. Elks National Memorial

4.5 based on 33 reviews
A monument in the truest sense, the Elks National Memorial was built in 1926 to honor Americans whose profound sacrifices for the nation can never be recognized by mere words. With its massive dome, heroic sculptures and intricately detailed friezes, the Memorial is a distinctively American interpretation of classical greatness.

It's Picasso! If you take your time and read the story, you'll surely find something about to be amazed with. Sadly, you still can see the left overs of the vandalism few years ago, but it doesn't diminish the grandiosity of the piece. Check it out from every angle, it's worth it (along with the Miró, Chagall, Calder,... etc. you can experience as a part of the same short self-guiding walking tour). Only in Chicago!

A visit to the Millennium Park at Christmas is a delight ... That magnificent silver Bean floats over the ice rink and at Christmas there is a fantastic tree all within an easy walk from the mile and central city. Jazz bands and Christmas lights made this very special
