Ramps are in season. It's a short season so get them while you can. Make pesto and pasta sauce, omelets and pizza, pickle them, freeze ramp butter. So many options, so little time! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What are ramps, you say? Allium Tricoccum. Wild leeks. And, a few sources say, the reason for the name "Chicago". The Potawatami word for Wild Onions (also skunk, but I choose to ignore that variation) is Checagou. Apparently, ramps were plentiful and the are had a distinct - but pleasantly garlicky oniony 'aroma'.</div>

The design of the <a href="http://www.hardrockhotelchicago.com/carbide-carbon/index.html">Carbide and Carbon Building</a> on a Spring-like Winter Day was allegedly inspired by a Champagne bottle. The green terra cotta tower representing the bottle with a gold leaf top representing the shiny foil cover on the cork.</div>

These colorful flowers, brightening up some dull winter days, are on the 212 South State Street Building in the Loop. The building is owned by the General Services Administration. They partnered with a group called <a href="http://www.portraitsofhope.org/about/index.php">Portraits of Hope</a> to create a uplifting mural on the doors of the building. </div>

Last Fall we went exploring in Chinatown but I didn't have time to post the photos. Until now. In honor of the Chinese New Year (it's the Year of the Dragon), today, here are the nine dragons on the Chicago Chinatown's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-Dragon_Wall">Nine Dragon Wall</a>.</div>

The Loop Alliance is leaving the <a href="http://lightscape.chicagoloopalliance.com/">music-synchronized lights along State Street</a> up through February.

(Today, I heard "My Funny Valentine", "I Will Always Love You", "All You Need is Love".) </div>
