First, it was off to Glenn’s Diner for a leisurely lunch.
Thankfully, the sunshine prevailed over the rain clouds allowing for a little exploration of this neighborhood around Montrose and Wolcott.
Section of the mural on the side of a now-shuttered Italian restaurant:
Chalkboard at the cafe inside the Lill Street Art Center. Sadly, no pie was consumed so I think a return trip may be called for to rectify that.
By the time I was headed south on Lake Shore Drive, you could tell the clouds were returning for rain, round two. I admit that I held the wheel with one hand and the camera in the other. Warning: do not try this at home!
By the way, I’ve made a couple of attempts to knit again but 2 inches of lace hardly rate a show and tell. I know this is a crafting blog but, hey, creativity and vision can come through the eye of the camera, too. One of these days, I vow to play with yarn again!
Cool sneakers! That toothy grin kind of creeps me out, though =) Don’t worry, you’ll be back at the yarn at the proper time.
Great photos! You definitely need to go back for pie!! (It’s my favorite dessert–I’m all for eating pie–fruit pies)
I hope your health continues to improve.
I love Chicago! Can’t wait to come back. And rain?? What’s that??
Keep healing, girlie.
You found some great sights to photograph. I love that Glenn’s Diner sign!
you’ve made me want to come see chicago for myself. even more than before!
Love the big lips sign outside Gleens Diner.
Two inches of lace knitting is alot. I agree take time to heal dear. When you get better, you must knit some socks to go with those way cool shoes. Great photos!
Eeek! Glenn’s Diner is going to get me!!
Love the murals. 🙂
What gorgeous photos! I love the eye candy you share with us. No matter that it’s not yarn related. It’s all good.
It is 12 years since I left Chicago. I don’t think Glenn’s Diner existed at that time, and it was Lill Street Studios back then, not Lille Street Art Center, with no cafe inside–just ceramics studios and classrooms! It’s nice to see LSD and the Hancock building again.
The sign for Glen’s Diner is so cool. Be patient with the knitting- you really need to heal.
I like that area! Super cute shoes. 🙂
Love the tour of Chicago shots!
