30 April 2013, Day 329


Would days like today be appreciated less if there were more of them? I don't know, but i'd like to find out. I would gladly take six months straight of this weather.

Detail of the mural on the CTA viaduct at Morse and Glenwood
I've taken other pictures of this mural, but thought i'd give a little extra attention to this detail today as a shout-out to all you artists and appreciators of the arts.

27 April 2013, Day 326, Pt. 2


It's Spring!

27 April 2013, Day 326, Pt. 1


After eating a lovely early lunch of hummus and stuffed grape leaves and briefly pondering the health benefits of becoming a vegan, i was overcome by a craving for meat -- and not just any meat, but the kind you have to gnaw off the bone.  So Doggie Demeanor and i set off on a mission. I hadn't been to Rub Bar-B-Q since last summer, so i underwent a moment of panic when i got to where it used to be and found an empty storefront. Fortunately, it turned out that they had just moved around the corner to a larger and more visible location on Western Ave. just south of Lunt.

The rare convergence of a clear, blue sky and an L train with clean windows:
Sheridan Road with the Loyola campus in the foreground and Lake Michigan in the background.
