Join me as I ride The Floridian, @amtrak 's epic new 47-hour route from #Ilinois to #Florida.

Here are the Siemens Charger locomotives during our "stretch-and-smoke" stop in Jacksonville.

It's a 2,000-mile ride, through ten states...

Ghost Stairway

Faded outlines of windows and stairs are sketched on a light brick wall, creating an illusion of architectural features. A strip of grass borders the bottom of the wall, adding a touch of greenery to the scene.

Today is going to be a hot one here in the ##MidwestUSA ##Ilinois.  98Β°F with at Feels Like temp of 102Β°F

Sounds about right.

I've lived in this neighborhood for about five years.

This is one of a series of local hand made candles at a booth in an artists gallery in Andersonville.

All of the candle feature common neighborhood stereotypes.

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods that like to make fun of each other.

Was on my way home on Monday and decided to stop in the Loop to go to a stationary shop. As I was exiting the Monroe Blue Line, I saw a sign with an arrow that said "Chicago Chagall." I went upstairs and found this beautiful Chagall in front of the Chase building. One of the special things about Chicago is the presence of a lot of public art from very famous artists.

Last Sunday @[email protected] participated in an Urban Sketchers event held at the Chicago Athletic Association. Neither of us had ever been there before - what a surprise! One of the hidden gems of the Loop. It is completely open to the public. It has fireplaces, wood paneling, long tables with lots of light and plugs, comfy chairs and couches, a few restaurants, and even a hotel. You can sit and work for hours. Worth checking out if you get a chance!

Considering using #Amtrak this spring, including a 5 hour layover in #Chicago #Ilinois

Looking for things to do other than eat & buy weed πŸ˜†

Since that's not enough time to rent a boat and explore #Demonreach we'll probably just hang out around and play tourist

The #Museum of Broadcast Communications is currently between homes which is a bummer.

Is 5 hours enough time to get to/from #OakPark and look at #FrankLloydWright houses?

Other suggestions?
