Rush Street

Visiting Alfie's favorite spot in Culver downtown for the first time. I thought I should let you know that there's no cover, if you're interested in checking the place out.

Pillow fight!

Above is the aftermath of a big, organized pillow fight that took place in front of the Art Institute of Chicago. I looked it up afterward and saw that this is a nationwide 'cause'. Funny thing is, right before I reached this scene, I saw a group of young people holding pillows and laughing while heading south on Michigan Ave. (I was heading north). Sucks to be the people cleaning this mess up.

Teh lake!

Traffic on Lake Shore Drive with some buildings in the background and Lake Michigan off to the right.
