Spring is still trying to make it’s way to Chicago, at least downtown by the lake. It’s amazing how much further along the burbs are than the city.
A few weekends ago I walked by the old post office here. I was hoping to get a few shots of the new batman movie set. They were using the building as a set for some Gotham National Bank scenes. However, when I got there, there wasn’t much left. But there was this old rusted sign. It’s a shame that the building is now empty. It’s so large and grandiose that I doubt anyone else will take it over. Plus it’s been empty for quite a few years. Good thing the post office built a brand new office right across the street from it.
Oh, and I know I’ve talked about buying a new place lately. Well, I’ve finally gotten pictures up. Nothing on this site, but instead on my sister site.
A water tower nearby. Wonder if they make the steaks there?
I wanted a lot more out of this one, but oh well. I’m not sure if it’s the crop or what, but it’s kind of meh to me.
Furniture shopping tomorrow, or at least browsing as I don’t have any money. Need to figure out what I want first I suppose.
Not sure why my internet connection at home just clicked back on, but I was finally able to get the images uploaded.
This weekend the plan is to get a picture or two up of the new place. However, for the time being, you’ll be subjected to urban settings.
**Update** There are new entries in waiting, however, my internet connection at home is having some difficulties, so I wasn’t actually able to upload the images. Ugh. Hopefully it works soon so I can get those up.
Closing is done, and I have the keys!
This is the “famous” Chicago hotdog with all the fixins. So good, I may have to visit Portillo’s for lunch tomorrow.
Today’s the big day!! I’ll hopefully have pics up of it in a few days.
