green line loop
i love the trains that go through the loop downtown, they snake through the buildings . . . it gives me the sensation of being on an elaborate ride at a theme park.
shoulder
sunday evening i went to my first roller derby bout. loved it and can't wait to do it again. it was hard to get a good shot with my measly flash, but here are a few that turned out alright and have some decent action in them.

oh, puppy!
out of focus, but i love how teeny he is.
he was scampering all about and acting so precious, i just had to take a quick picture.

discarded rug
i initially thought this was a dead and severely mangled dog. once it registered that the inside of its skin was felt and not bloody flesh, i walked back and observed. definitely a strange site. poor bear.
glass block windows
i hate glass blocks. they're the epitome of bad 80s decorating to me. chicago is practically built with them. they make sense here--they allow in light, but not the roving eyes of nosy neighbors. but man are they ugly!
leaky hydrant
the oh-so-conscious fire department often leaves this hydrant leaking into a coffee can that overflows all over the sidewalk. note, the creepy firefighter head in the window. always. watching.
love the roof line
i'm kind of obsessed with the juxtaposition of the architecture of the buildings here and the stores they hold. i especially like these three store-fronts next to each other.
