Loving all the lower levels and the back alleys.

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.
Contrast with the more modern equivalent and (I think) still the house style of Chicago’s Transit Authority.
Alright, so this was a lot more fun than I expected. (Even though the weather is bad.)
Most beautiful steel bridge
I think that stack must have been shortened; the name of the street is Belmont.

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.

Spring colours
God, I love this city
Yesterday, back in Chicago
It really does feel so different come spring
Look at this!
Inside me, there are two wolves

I love this so, so much.
I am so obsessed with this stretch of the brown line, I just got there again today.
Not sure if you can tell, but the driver in the first photo was waving and honking at me. They always seem to enjoy this!
A moody, rainy Sunday
Stumbled upon the mythical Lower Lower Wacker Drive today. It exists below even the lower level of Wacker Dr, and apparently this is where impounded cars go. It’s more than a little spooky.
(Arguably, above is somewhat more beautiful.)
Chicago has a strange network of double- and triple-decker streets downtown. I kind of want to do an interactive map of all this now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilevel_streets_in_Chicago

@mwichary There’s a parallel universe where I’m still trapped going in circles on Lower Wacker from that one time in 2006

@mwichary Omg I was telling my nephew & siblings about this tonight at dinner. I need to visit there, and also the Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Michigan.
@mwichary Wacker Dr is great because there’s an East Wacker, a West Wacker, a North Wacker, a South Wacker, and even an upper and a lower Wacker.
@mwichary immediately make me me think of Gotham City in Batman Begins, which a quick Google tells me did in fact use it as a filming location.
@mwichary lake just east of Ashland?
@grumpasaurus No, this is the brown line in the North Center area!
@mwichary Somebody better think about the corrosion on those L tracks.

@mwichary Thank you for sharing the beauty
@mwichary Fabulous. I've been through Chicago a few times, never stayed even a night. These pics are making me think I need to visit. I've lived in NYC and spent time in many cities but somehow never the windy city.
@mwichary from Zen and the art of the Macintosh
@mwichary @nuthatch just be careful, that looks like load-bearing ivy
@mwichary this is so funny to me
@mwichary Drugie zdjęcie jest rewelacyjne!
@mwichary I have a soft spot for greenery on things not originally intended to be green :)
@mwichary Love that stretch of Belmont
@mwichary Damn I love every single one of your pictures. Thanks for posting them
@mwichary Love that old XRT building, that's my bus stop! Wish someone would do something with that building.

@mwichary
I love your photographs of it.

(And am looking forward to visiting again in a couple of weeks time.)
