Font Crush II

Once again I'm feeling the old skool fonts. They are so prevalent in Chicago. This is a shot from The Bohemian National Cemetery on Foster and Pulaski. If you enjoy cemeteries at all this is a great place to check out. If you don't believe me you can search 'em out on Yelp . . . they've got a 4 star rating (what? you don't rate your cemeteries? pppshhhh.)

The Art Institute

If you haven't been to the Art Institute lately you need to go this weekend. Why? To see the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit before it leaves on Monday. The legendary photojournalist has an incredibly rich history of photos and many of them are on display.

Shadows

The shadows remind me of a DeChirico painting, only a lot less dramatic. The Fall is notorious for taking our subject matter and turning it inside out. This is Lincoln Square in all of its finest.

Backside

This is the back side of one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago, Glenn's Diner. Chicageaux is a photo blog rather than a food blog but it's really about Chicago more than anything. Food is as vital to this city as politics, art or sports. If you want seafood done perfectly this is your place. Glenn's does a lot of things very well but their seafood selection and preparation is exceptional. I highly recommend the Colorado River Sturgeon when it's available.

First Fall Weekend

Fall is such a wonderful season, especially in Chicago. The skies are blue and the clouds are puffy. Sweaters make a triumphant return and soups become daily fare. The wind off of Lake Michigan feels brisk and energizing. It's a time when Sundays are spent watching football and relaxing. Make sure to get out this weekend and enjoy the first weekend of Fall because it's a short lived season with Winter right behind it.
