Eerie Scene

For Friday the 13th I thought I would post an eerie scene at dusk from my Cabrini collection.  This was taken the night before demolition began on 1230 N Burling the final Cabrini Green high-rise.  You can see a couple of the lights shining from the LED Art Installation on the right half of the building.

This photo was taken with film in the winter of 2008 when I was in Chicago for the day in search of a job.

Milton Olive Park

I've been living in the city for almost 3 years now and there still new stones to be unturned.  The other day I took the bike down the Lake Shore Trail and discovered Milton Olive Park.  Down the path and to the left are stellar views of the city along the lake.  I have a feeling I'll be back here soon.  Milton L. Olive III was an army solider and Medal of Honor recipient from Chicago who died in the Vietnam War in 1964 at the age of 18.  He sacrificed his life by smothering a live grenade which saved those around him.

The Blue Giant

I finally have a set of wheels since selling my car 2 years ago.  I picked up this bike at Working Bikes Coop in the Pilsen neighborhood last Saturday.  I highly recommend them.  It's a first come first serve refurbishing shop that usually has a line forming before the doors open.  My eyes were immediately directed to this shiny Blue Giant Innova within the first couple minutes I walked in the door.  Now I can wonder the lake front trail with speed.

Tuesday's Sky

Tuesday's cloudy sky was simply incredible after the rain.  This photo was taken along the lakefront around 4:30p.  I was lucky enough to have the day off and after the rain settled it wasn't a total loss.  Yesterday an article in the Tribune said that it has rained 19 of the 27 days in April.  But it actually feels like it has rained everyday this month.
