Milton Olive Park


I've been living in the city for almost 3 years now and there still new stones to be unturned.  The other day I took the bike down the Lake Shore Trail and discovered Milton Olive Park.  Down the path and to the left are stellar views of the city along the lake.  I have a feeling I'll be back here soon.  Milton L. Olive III was an army solider and Medal of Honor recipient from Chicago who died in the Vietnam War in 1964 at the age of 18.  He sacrificed his life by smothering a live grenade which saved those around him.
