US-41 Chicago (Lake Shore Drive)

[MrSuperRileymoore]

which bridge carrys the most traffic in chicago,illinoise

[FreewayTitan]

@MrSuperRileymoore My best guess is the bridge over the Chicago is I-90/94 over the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't see your old Lake Shore Drive-southbound-vid.

[FreewayTitan]

@jonboi525 I actually removed that because it wasn't complete and I didn't like the video. Sometime when I get to Chicago.. presumably sometime next year I'll get it Southbound no question.

[jonboi525]

@FreewayTitan I see, well the song that you had in that video, I heard the other day. But I don't know the name of it

[FreewayTitan]

@jonboi525 Miss Li - Bourgeois Sangri-La. Pretty catchy song if you ask me.

Nice video! I've been on Lake Shore Drive a few times (on Sundays) but never during the work week. I'm sure many of the people who decided to drive home from work on Lake Shore Drive two days ago regretted it.

P.S. US-41 actually branches off from Lake Shore Drive at Foster Avenue. If you go west on Foster about half a mile from Lake Shore Drive, you'll see the eastern endpoint of US-14 (at Broadway Street).

Sweet video!!! Thanks for sharing.

[FreewayTitan]

@tshane250 Thank you.

I liked the way Soldier Field looked before. Since they revovated it, it just looks weird!

[prfsnlwannabe]

@Fanik8 Heh, it looks like (what most people joke it's like, based on who you talk to) either a UFO landed on Soldier Field, or a supersized toilet bowl. Good vid, and not a bad choice of song, as well.

[Derham43]

Never been to Chitown before. Even though its winter, still looks like a great city to visit. Maybe someday I will. I like the way the cab cut in front of you. (1:56) Fantastic Vid.

[FreewayTitan]

@Derham43 Yeah, visit anytime of year, just visit. :) Thanks.

[necroslair]

Nice work, FT! Have a safe and prosperous 2011 and keep the videos coming...

[FreewayTitan]

@necroslair Thanks.

Congratulations on 100 videos, FreewayTitan! Happy New Year!! I remember traveling on this road with friends while vacationing with friends 5 1/2 years ago in the summer. As a previous poster said, it's indeed very comparable to riding on the FDR Drive in NYC, though I think the Lake Shore was nicer. Excellent Job!

[FreewayTitan]

@Tribeca40 Thanks! Lake Shore Drive is definitely less busy, traffic-wise and scenery wise. It's a nice 'drive'.

[dave11686]

Happy New Years and great video!

[FreewayTitan]

@dave11686 To you too, thanks.

[FreewayAndrew]

Never been to Chicago, that was interesting.

[FreewayTitan]

@FreewayAndrew Thanks. If and when you do go, this should go right to the top of the list for filming.

[mutt1256]

Lived in Chicago in 1967 when the big snow hit and I don't miss tthe snow or cold winds, great video and thankyou for the memories .

[FreewayTitan]

@mutt1256 Ah, yes no problem. I don't really have the problem with the weather, just as long as there are good summers....

[vbdenny]

At first I thought your video was in black & white then I realised that iw as Chicago that was black & white. Great 100th Titan.

[FreewayTitan]

@vbdenny Heh, cloudy day. Thank you sir.

[bsdpowa]

awesome ride!

[FreewayTitan]

@bsdpowa Thanks.

[aswchris]

Nice video despite the rain! Lake Shore Drive may rival the FDR Drive in NYC for skyline views by the way...

[FreewayTitan]

@aswchris The setting of either road cannot be beat. Thanks.

[eluko79]

Thats some crazy winter weather right there. The fog disappeared as soon as you crossed the river. This video is definitely one of your best Max. Great to see this in HD.

[FreewayTitan]

@eluko79 It's right along the lake. Now don't tell me you don't get bad weather in Minneapolis! Thanks. :)

[Tha89Kid]

what a beautiful view and city of chicago skyline next to NYC.

[Bryant5493]

0:18 - Lovin' that balloon. (99 luft ballons, LOL)

2:23 - Very cool transition.

3:51 - That van was hauling ass!!!

Nicely done, Max, nicely done. One of your best.

[Crocfan20]

Fantastic views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, the blend of freeway and regular boulevard is quite interesting especially in wintry weather like this.Congrats on 100 videos and keep 'em coming!!

[CAMINOANDALUZ]

Interesting ride, Max!!.Thanks for the new video,really relaxing. PLS don´t stop doing this vids,love seeing them...

[FreewayTitan]

@CAMINOANDALUZ I won't stop until I've run out of roads to film... and that's not happening anytime soon...

[Freewayjim]

Congrats on 100 videos! Interesting to see the 1960's bridge guardrail on the inside shoulder like that. This is something I definitely hope to film, good job!

[FreewayTitan]

@Freewayjim Thanks. 

[CptSchmidt]

Nice one. Gives a great look at downtown Chicago.

[FreewayTitan]
