Back in The Lou looking for images. A main downtown plaza has a smallish event called Winterfest. There is temporary ice rink and clear plastic heated igloos for four people that cost $200 for 90 minutes, $35 more if you want S'Mores. This little worn trailer is the bar. The company that runs it is called Pour Decisions.
A dining area called the Reynolds Club at the University of Chicago, uncrowded on a Saturday afternoon. There is a large, upscale food court off to the right, serving bright, overachieving kids the nutrition they demand. They all agree it looks a bit like the dining hall at Hogwarts, if somewhat less dank. When I caught some of these portraits of old deans and profs out of the corner of my eye, I could swear some nodded and winked at me.
Food vendor at the Christmas market in the Chicago Loop. Hungry as you may be, your plastic will get you nothing.
The theater district of the Chicago Loop on a chilly, late autumn evening. Friends, this ain't New York but it's sure not St. Louis.
Unseasonably warm and sunny day today. Maybe I can get back out on the local streets.
