I've plotted my top recommended bike routes starting at the south end of the Lakefront Trail in Chicago to make it easier to share some of my favorite routes! They all basically work in reverse, but I've also tried to include train connections at the ends. All have detailed notes. #bikechi

And too many old-timers still here who were around in the 1990s when the big push to do Prohibition 2.0 happened, and thought they were solving crime once and for all. Obviously it worked so they all still feel strongly they did the right thing.

That would require it to be legal to issue a liquor license.

Actually government seals should include the name of the largest employer or business based there. It would be much more honest about their priorities than whatever Latin pablum they do feature.

It has a south side cousin at 8524 S. Jeffery, but the details don't match. The two I posted are on the far north side.

I'm kind of obsessed with houses with the little metal arches, like the third/lower left of these! Saw two very closely-related cousins yesterday.
Photo of a brick house with stone accents and two sharply peaked gables. Above the front steps there is a curved thin metal arch. The front yard is very lushly planted with tall grasses.

Never forget the reason for the season. (It's pumpkins and spiders, I'm pretty sure.)

She died waiting for even a single driver to stop at the stop sign.
Photo of a sidewalk at a street corner with a yellow pole. Leaning up against the pole is a skeleton with its arms flailing out wearing a high visibility yellow vest. There is a yellow brick apartment building visible behind on the corner.

Excellent moment to sit on a bench
Photo looking down a park path with a bench next to it under under trees. Catching late afternoon light with some of them turning fall colors.
