Gold Coast Reverie

Whispers of Elegance Along Chicago’s Shimmering Shore

By the lake where the waves hum soft and slow,

Chicago's Gold Coast bathes in a golden glow.

Stately brownstones, regal in their prime,

Hold stories untouched by the rush of time.

The lake stretches wide, a deep blue seam,

Reflecting old wealth and modern dreams.

Mansions and towers, a blend of old and new,

Stand tall, as history and future brew.

In the morning light, streets quietly gleam,

A place where life is more than it seems.

Cobblestones hum beneath each step,

A neighborhood of charm, beauty kept.

From sun-drenched paths to city’s heart,

The Gold Coast plays its timeless part.

Where elegance lingers in the breeze,

And memories drift with the whispering trees.
