| Yesterday as I was reading about the coverage on the revolution in Egypt I noticed that Cairo is referred to as the "City of 1,000 minarets." After I figured out what a minaret was, I remembered taking this image last week during the blizzard. The former Medinah Temple is now the Bloomingdale's store in River North with Chicago's own onion-like architectural minaret. Congratulations to the courageous people of Egypt! |

Seems like an unusual setting for a department store but, I'm certainly glad it was a new life. It's a wonderful building.
