The “Gold Coast” was a neighborhood that stretched five blocks along the lake in a sliver of land just south of Lincoln Park and north of River North. The streets were like fine necklaces and strung together were the brownstone houses and tall condominiums and tiny mansions like pearls, and when the day broke and the sun faded away, their lights burned like jewels shining gaudily in the night. The world’s most elegant bazaar, Michigan Avenue, jutted out from its eastern tip near The Drake Hotel and the timeless blue-green waters of Lake Michigan pressed its shores. The fractious make-up of the people that inhabited it, the flat squareness of its parks and the hint of the lake at the ends of its tree-lined streets squeezed together a domesticated cesspool of age and wealth and standing. It was a place one could readily dress up for an expensive dinner at one of the fashionable restaurants or have a drink miles high in the lounge of the looming John Hancock Building and five minutes later be out walking on the beach with pants cuffed and feet in the cool water at the lake’s edge.","author":"Daniel Amory","tags":["chicago","city","contemporary-fiction","contemporary-literature","downtown","lake","neighborhood","school","summer"],"id":58460,"author_id":"Daniel+Amory"},{"text":"Do not harm your neighbour, who live trustfully near you.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian","co-existence","community","harm","harmless","harmony","humanity","inspiring","life-lesson","living","love","motivational","neighborhood","neighbour","peace","wise-words"],"id":101415,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"For example, the citizens will live out the value of diligence in their enterprises.
