I need a Chicago icon of some kind

I am seriously considering never leaving the house again without my camera; because you just never know when someone is going to put up a sign that, if you tell anyone you saw it, no one is going to believe you.

Isn't this cool? Though my zoom reveals a level of neglect I missed in person.

So yesterday it officially became Too Hot to be in Chicago, but that does mean all the roses are budding and blooming.

Some are doing it very picturesquely in the vicinity of wrought iron.

Someone had fun yesterday...

Photobucket

So I walked on, and took some pics of this flower...

...but just a few blocks later turned and backtracked. A block or two later I came upon what must have been the scene of a drive-by-flowering in the 5-10 minutes since I'd walked past this spot the first time.

So random.

I stopped at Jewel on the way home and apparently the spice aisle has become exciting!

Sherlock Fic is impending.

I love the little cobwebby seahorse, the drive-by flowering, and these are all lovely. What would represent Chicago to you, for an icon?

You are the kindest person on the planet. Hm. Oh, ha! I should say the Sears Tower sign because they've changed the name now. What else did they change that annoyed the heck out of me? I can't think of it now. Oh, a map would be good. Maps are always good. Though the grid system sometimes makes for a boring map. Does it make it easier or harder if I leave it up to you?

I looked around for some more aftermath of the drive-by flowering because I just couldn't imagine what sequence of events ends that way. I even looked up, which most of the time I forget to do. No clues whatsoever.

Here's a couple - if you find an image of the Sears Tower sign let me know :-)

Mystery unsolved. Sometimes that's more entertaining ♥

Oh, the theater - that's spot on. And the skyline, which is pretty perfect as well. Thank you! Thank you very, very much! I will use both. Hopefully the pics which come with the using will continue to provide ample reward.
