State after Dark

More Lupins

The Remus Lupins

Went to see the Bean and found The Remus Lupins:

Michigan to Lake to State

In case you haven't been downtown after dark lately:

Foggy Day Chicago

South Wabash, Saturday Night

Groovy

Reconstruction continues on the Eisenhower Expressway, but going downtown can still be GROOVY if one has the right music.

Who Was That Tall Man?

Seen at Forest Park Summerfest and Taste of Chicago:

Gargoyle Ahead

Waiting for the light to change on Congress Parkway. Through the rain, looming up ahead atop the public library, can be seen a huge menacing gargoyle. Are any of us safe?

Cool Off

.... at Buckingham Fountain.

Band in the Park

I didn't catch the name of the band and couldn't understand the lyrics. As the video shows, my attention began to wander.

Heading Downtown

A trip downtown on the Lake Street elevated provides an architectural tour including buildings left over from the nineteenth century as well as stuff hot off the drawing board.

Crowds at Taste

Taste of Chicago featured far fewer restaurants this year, but still drew lots of CROWDS. Don't watch this if you're claustrophobic.

Update (July 14): Discovered last evening that Flickr videos can't be viewed on iTouch (or presumably, iPhone). Here's the same video on You Tube:
