In which Lincoln Park is atmospheric.

I ran across some really gorgeous architectural details today as well as a few things which just struck me as groovy...I think I'd like to live in Lincoln Park if it weren't full of annoying people and a lack of parking options...it's also ridiculously expensive.

This was my absolutely favorite find of the day.

Oh, and if anyone is in need of a puppet bike, now you know where to get one.

Yes, that is a miniature disco ball that you see.

Also - psssst - look out, Chicago! I am armed with both a love of Cabin Pressure and citrus fruits...three guesses what I'm doing tomorrow...

The grinning lion door knocker is awesome.

Next time you're down by me, come early enough to see the Faces Building in the daylight.

Yes, we must get together soon. This week was a total loss for me. I'm just hoping a couple of friends in from out of town and a citrusy excursion tomorrow can help balance it out.

Actually, I finally ran across a physical copy of the walking tours of Chicago which I've been wanting. It's a bit out of date - Meigs Field still being in it - but there are a couple by you if you'd be interested in coming along for something like that. Daylight would be helpful there as well...
