Blizzard, Esquire Theater
 |
| The Esquire Theater on Oak St in the Gold Coast has been closed and vacant since 2006 but during the blizzard it had an even stranger sense of emptiness as I walked by. There have been plans to tear down the theater to build a high-end shopping center and hotel, but the project was haulted in 2009. As far as I'm concerned they can hold off on that project forever. |

Chicago's Minaret
 |
| 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! |

Bracing for the Blizzard
 | |
| I'm excited for the Midwestern Blizzard of 2011! It seems that the rest of the country has been experiencing extreme winter snow, while Chicago has had a fairly uneventful season. I know that it may be a bit too early to jump to conclusions, but the experts are predicting snowfall ranging from 18 inches to over 2 feet. It began snowing around 9p last night. The arctic blast of massive proportions is scheduled to arrive this afternoon. |
