Chicago (Lots of Pictures!) – anywhere is….

CHICAGO!

Spent another weekend in awesome Chicago with awesome adamselzer. The weather was still cooler than I would have liked (but much better than the 2º F foolishness that was going on the last time I was there), but I had a good time anyway. I got to eat Chicago-style hotdogs and duck fat fries at Hot Doug’s, I went on Ken’s Weird Chicago tour (I’d only been on Adam’s prior, and it was when it was brand new), got freaked the hell out in the Liar’s Club (I feel like I got freaked out in there the first time), ran into Hector from the Chicago Hauntings tour—first at Ft. Dearborn (in all fairness, Adam and I did stage that) and also at the site of the Eastland Disaster—and well, had a great time all weekend, really.

I got time to act like a total tourist and to take lots of pictures, so here goes:

Church

Wall at Hot Doug’s

Yummmm

El train, library, and some other buildings I’m sure adamselzer knows the name of.

Michigan Ave

Smurfette & Something building. Who can guess which movie featured this building?? 😀

Wicked marquee. confusified, this is for you. 😉

Ah yes, this it is.

House of Crosses

One of the stops on the Weird Chicago tour is the House of Crosses. The owner put up a cross to keep gangs away (The Gaylords), and it worked so well, he kept adding more and more. This is the coach house in the back.
