Humboldt and Kedzie Blvds. and Logan Square

No part of the twenty-eight-mile boulevard system offers more pleasure than the drive from Humboldt Park to Logan Square, a trip that would have been even more pleasant at a nineteenth-century pace. The 250-foot-wide roadways were designed with central “carriage drives” and service roads framed by formal lines of elm and catalpa trees. The roadway widens to 400 feet at Palmer Square, a popular raceway for nineteenth-century carriage drivers and cyclists.
