I spent the weekend of August 23 and 24 in Chicago at my daughter's townhouse on Calumet Parkway, the street behind historic Prairie Avenue. After reading an article a couple of months ago, I have become obsessed with old water tanks so I decided to take digital photos of any I could find in South Loop. My trek took me to Cermac and the Motor Row Historic District. As I walked around the area, water tanks seemed to appear everywhere, somehow missed in my earlier jaunts around that part of the city. I snapped quite a few pictures and have been researching further about these iconic structures that are slowly being lost to urban sprawl modernization.
