Chicago-Style Pizza

432 Columbus Avenue, NY. It's always nice to find a slice of Chicago-style deep dish pizza away from home. It's not too difficult considering there are over 200 such locations spread over 29 states.

Slow Day For Change

Brick Arch

947 W. Lawrence Avenue. This Uptown apartment building's entry would have pleased architect Louis Kahn, (1901-1974) who famously asked, "What do you want, Brick? And the brick's answer was, 'I like an Arch." (Read the complete quote here.)

Apple Sampling

The Apple Store on Michigan Avenue. This is the kind of place where a person just has to slap themselves silly to break out of the trance.

The Republic

Hayes and 63rd. The Republic (also known as The Golden Lady) is 24 feet high and is a replica of the original 63 foot gold-leaf plated plaster statue that was created for the World Columbian Exposition of 1893. The replica (and the original) was by Daniel Chester French and was dedicated May 11, 1918. (Read more here.)

What's On

WGN Radio in the Tribune Tower. Keeping us posted on the Cubs out in Phoenix. Go Cubs!

Under the El Tracks

Wabash and Balbo Street. Being stuck in detour traffic is usually a good time to break out the blog. :)

A Serendipitous Cemetery

I didn't know about theme day until this morning, when I dropped by Fenix's blog (of Boston dp). So I uploaded this photo which I happened to take yesterday, while driving through St. Charles, Illinois. St. Charles is a town about 80 miles west of Chicago.
