Cabrini

Only a few high-rise projects are left from this experiment in Chicago. This one, in Cabrini Green, is all but down.

Running Man

I find these graffiti images of Blagojevich pretty funny. He always looks suspicious.

Native

There is some great street art down in Pilsen. Go.

I have rarely ventured south to east Pilsen. I have always wanted to get some good pictures of Fisk Power Plant. Now I have some to share.

Bridges

A bridge on the near south side passing over the South Branch of the Chicago River.

Frozen Waves

Although slightly dangerous, I would suggest walking on the frozen waves of Lake Michigan. It must be the closest we can get to walking on the moon.

New Wing

Tulips with the new Modern Wing (by Renzo Piano) in the background.

Art



The newest art in Millennium Park.  Dinosaurs attacking our buildings, Chinese figures wrestling beasts and moon rocks that mimic our buildings exterior.

Common

Scene repeaded hundreds of times a summer at the Crown Fountain.

South Shore Cultural Center - Chicago






The South Shore Historical Center is a beautiful old building on the lakefront in Chicago.  Take the time to visit it.

Teenagers

I just really liked this perspective.  I was sitting on the ground with my son waiting for a train and, as you can see, a number of teenagers came by.  Teenagers... I hope my son does not become one someday!

Winter in Chicago?






One of Chicago's great places, the Lincoln Park Conservatory.  A great place to go on a chilly winter day.  It's always above 75F inside!

Brisk

While it is a dirty city, we still are proud.  We our politicians play rough, just like our police.
