Cloud Gate, 2

I think it is actually against the law to go to Cloud Gate and not take a photo of downtown buildings distorted by the curves…

Cloud Gate, 1

Miss Hannah Harvey was inspired by the open framework of the Pritzker Pavilion, and sat on a ledge to work on a dress design* and was completely unaware of the famous Cloud Gate sculpture right behind her. Art, as of course you know, just HAS to come before sightseeing.

*Really. She’s an interesting kid.

Free Wi-Fi (you get what you pay for)

Well, sure. It sounds good to get free WiFi. But given the general state of disrepair and the chain-link fence around the property and the dead tree laying over in the parking lot, my guess is that it may not be that great a bargain after all.

The line had been drawn

This place will soon come down, to make way for another place.
