Very cool pictures. Of course, I loved all the houses. I have only been to Oak Park twice for lunch. It had a small town feeling to for me.
Thanks Suzette. Yes. There is a small town feel and everything is so close together so it’s easy to get around by walking. And of course I love the Wright houses!
