Walking the Gold Coast and Buckhead

Today the family and I went to the Division Farmer's market for our fresh produce and some flowers.    Afterwards we took our first walk from our new Walking Chicago book.    At the end of the walk we had a great lunch at Twin Anchors in Old Town.    I had the ribs and Tanya had the burger.   It was very tasty and highly recommended.    This place was used for filming for the Dark Knight and was a hangout of Frank Sinatra.  It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning in Chicago.
