Chicago
Go White Sox!
Beautiful weekend for a Sox-Yankees series. Go Sox!
Lake Shore Drive
I took this pic last night headed south on Lake Shore Drive—reminded me of the song of the same name by Skip Haynes:
“And there ain’t no road just like it
Anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town.”
Milwaukee Avenue Tunnel
This tunnel to Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago’s Jefferson Park neighborhood goes over the Kennedy Expressway/CTA tracks and under the Metra tracks.
Sears Tower
It’s a beautiful day in Chicago. Here’s the Sears Tower piercing a cloud.
The Dandy Warhols at Taste of Randolph
I got to see one of my favorite bands Saturday night at Taste of Randolph, but not for long—festival organizers stopped the show after one song when severe weather threatened to end the band and its die-hard fans. The song? “Be-In” from …The Dandy Warhols Come Down. It was worth every second.
Gale Sayers Mini-Poster
This mini-poster of Gale Sayers came with a pack of football cards that I bought when I was a kid. There’s a game on the back that you can play. Go Bears!
Tribune Tower
The Tribune Tower has always been one of my favorite Chicago buildings. Here’s a pic I took yesterday on the way to work.
AT WCIU with ChattySnaps
In WCIU’s green room yesterday before my wife appeared on You & Me This Morning to promote ChattySnaps with co-founder Annalee Oakley (I was their social media guy for the day).
Thanks to ScottyRocks for the photo.
