Information: Charles D. McLaughlin House
Lunch: Bento Box #3
Destination Review: Sorry, Charlie, your house is really dull.
The Walk: This was in the Gold Coast neighborhood, so there were some interesting things to see as I walked around the block, including a big rich person’s house with separate servant’s quarters…
…pretty planters on every corner…
…more cool Gold Coast bricks…
…some nice brick and stone work…
…and another view of the Blackstone Hotel, over some construction. I’ve visited so many landmarks now that I’m starting to notice landmarks I’ve already visited during my walks.
The Lunch: The chef’s salad was OK, with plenty of ranch. I love roasted baby potatoes. Kiwi and cantaloupe taste good together. And I again enjoyed my version of trail mix, which is a nut and seed mix I get at Dollar Tree mixed with peanut butter M & Ms.
