I got off the lakefront path at 31st street and headed west into the beautiful Douglas neighborhood. I've come here a few times before and I'm always amazed at the wonderful monument that was created at the tomb of Stephen A. Douglas. It's really beautiful and the grounds of the state historic site are well-maintained and very peaceful.
There are numerous other sites to see in Douglas, including the former Sunset Cafe where jazz great Louis Armstrong played. The building is now an Ace Hardware store, but there is still a 1920s era mural in the back. Time Out Chicago covered this in a
short piece.
