Angles and Patterns

Lots of angles, curves and patterns in this little section of a building on Wells Street.

The Art of Burton Place

There's a little side street in the Old Town area of Lincoln Park called Burton Place. I don't know anyone who lives on this street, but I always imagine that they are all artists. The buildings on the street - and the street may only run for the block between LaSalle and Wells - have many little details such as mosaics, colorful glass insets and fancy tiles like those shown below. There are also three or four pretty large outdoor sculptures on display in this little section.

I Guess He Relocated

I always had the impression that Sam Spade did his detecting work in San Francisco. I guess he relocated his offices to the Old Town section of Lincoln Park in Chicago. Not sure he gets many clients because the only entrance seems to be through the storefront on the first floor ...

... which has this sign on the door.
