Kinzie Street railroad bridge - Wikipedia

New fav aesthetic: Old neons in the daytime
The typography on the vintage Quincy loop elevated station, restored to resemble its former 19th-century glory.

Alright, so this was a lot more fun than I expected. (Even though the weather is bad.)

A few photos for today that feel like photos from 50 years ago.
Forgot what it’s like to live somewhere where you can watch seasons fight with each other.
I have waited longer for this stupid shot than I am willing to admit.
@mwichary I know this wasn't the main point of the photo, but I found this message quite inspiring
@jonasdowney @mwichary in preview, the only word that shows is “MORE” and that’s a very different message
@apetersen @jonasdowney Now I want to make “that’s so morb” happen. Like, “morbid,” but cooler.
@mwichary @jonasdowney that would be bringing back Victorian slang! “Got the morbs” was a real phrase. https://acclaimhealth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Puzzles-and-Games-Victorian-Slang-Trivia.pdf
@apetersen @jonasdowney WHAT UP MY MORBS
@mwichary @apetersen whoa, this is a seriously excellent list. Appreciate you chuckaboos bringing this up!
@jonasdowney @mwichary just had to share something so bang up to the elephant
