Clark Square Beach Throw Back Thursday

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker 475.140531

I am not going back too far, this was Monday on Memorial Day. A fine day it was. The temp was just right and we went for a long walk and just checked the beach out. I really enjoyed myself and when we were walking I bumped into an old friend I had not seen in many years. He was also out for a stroll and we hugged each other. It is a small word, this saying is so true.

What I really like about this picture is the guy kicking back to the right of the sign so relaxing Evanston is so nice at the lake front and the Clark Square is one of my favorite beach parks. People were out and really enjoying themselves, me included

This is a shot at the beach and it was really nice Monday. 70 degrees and almost no breeze. A near perfect day to be out. I think we walked about four miles of Evanston IL paradise. Here is the scene

Evanston IL Lake Front

This photo says it all. Sun, deep blue sky's, a calm lake front and people enjoying Evanston IL. Not too crowded and very peaceful. I really enjoyed this Memorial Day 2016 and I am thankful for how I got it. People have made sacrifices and I am thankful they are brave and have the guts to give up so much. Don't ever forget this. You and I have this because someone defended us. Yes we all complain about taxes, gas prices, who is the next president, what is for dinner, it is your turn to walk the dog and don't forget to put the toilet seat down. All this and I am free and in love with Evanston IL USA. Please give me many more Memorial Days like 2016 was. I won't forget. Lastly, I want to tell you what I do not like about Memorial Day. It is that ever year Labor day comes around so fast, even faster than the year before.

Noah- I am always surprised when I see a photo of your beach because I just don't think of your area as having a beach!  That said, I loved the sentiments of your post.

Hi Noah Seidenberg ,  The beach photos sure look inviting.  Did you manage to stick your toe in the tepid water?

You were meant to be out that day to bump into your old friend. I would give anything to have that experience. Your photos are really nice too and I'm glad Old Man Winter bugged out so that you can enjoy the freshness of growth and opportunity to run into old friends, and capture shots of unsuspecting swingers too!

Good morning Noah. Your photos show the kind of day that it was and it just doesn't get any better than being near water.

Hi Noah - I love the beach photos - for me here on the East Coast- even though I know you have a "lake" there I am always surprised by how big it is! Must be why it is a Great Lake!

Aloha Noah, so little development along the shore line, how peaceful. What a synchronistic moment meeting an old friend and enjoying a stroll down memory lane.
