Majestic Building(s)

We have a lot of majestic buildings in Chicago. This one is named the Majestic Building. According to this website, the Majestic Building was the tallest building around when it was built in 1905.

The glass and steel building next to The Majestic Building is no slouch either. It's the Inland Steel Building. According to this website, when it was completed in 1957, it was the first skyscraper built in the Loop after the Great Depression.

Berry Fight

A Canadian Goose and a gull were fighting over some type of red berry. Apparently it wasn't worth the effort since the gull subsequently spit out its "prize" and flew away.

I like the "expression" the goose has ;)

Tut-Tut! It Looks Like Rain

This was Monday's rain moving in over the city.

Bridges

Danger Danger

I always thought this went without saying but I guess you do have to say it.

Workin' on the Railroad

They've been working on the Railroad

All the live long day

(at least it felt that way because the train has to go through the work area verrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy slowly.)

Wired

I just liked the geometric shapes formed by the wires. The odd reflections (including the word Loop) are the result of taking the photo through the window on the Brown Line.

Food Trucks Rule

A culinary revolution has hit Chicago: Food Trucks.

I have to admit, I wasn't all that excited about them when I first heard about them. Really, who wants to go running around chasing a truck for food. It's one thing when you are a kid and it's an Ice Cream Truck; it's another thing when you're not a kid anymore.

But now the trucks are congregating at various places to offer people a buffet, so to say, of fun food. They were using terms like Food Truck Summit, Food Truck Flash Mob, and Food Truck Mash Up originally. But now they are using more creative names like Waggin Wednesday (where some of the profits go to canine related causes) and Truckin' Thursday.

Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller

The Art Institute uses a fun reference to a fun movie in their advertising. Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller

Smoking Cloud

This cloud, just hanging around southwestern Michigan, looked a little like it was smoking a cigarillo.

Home

When you get off the Blue Line at the Logan Square stop, you get this reminder that you're home.

But don't try to walk through the blue door 'cause it's really a cement wall.

Ode to Riverview

A sculpture at Belmont Avenue and Wester Avenue is an ode to the old RiverView Amusement Park. It was created by artist Jerry Peart in 1980.
