Thanks for the photo tour, Glenn. I've only been to Chicago twice for tragically short periods. An extended visit in the near future is in order.

It’s a great city. I easily could have spent two weeks walking around there with my camera. No shortage of images or cultural opportunities to enjoy.

Great collection of photos, Glenn. Chicago is one of my favourite cities. The architecture is amazing (and the food, and the music).

Just beautiful. Of course, you know I love the camera sign, but it's the ones of the streets under the el that seem to bring it back to me the strongest. And is that the side of a bridge? Love that.

Thank you! Yep that’s the side of the bridge that crosses onto Michigan Ave. (And camera store neon… who can resist that?)

Love Chicago. We’ve been many times over the years. I like the night-time BW photo of the river and the camera shop photo

Such fun! Chicago requires the noir vibe of the black & white, and I love what you captured here. Love the street art, and (at a different point on the spectrum), the Milton! Thanks for sharing.

Great pics. Chicago is a remarkably photogenic city. I just wish I had taken more photos of it when I lived there from 1980-93, before the Loop and so many other neighborhoods became gentrified and overbuilt.

Thanks, Dan! I feel the same way about Austin and especially Nashville, which becomes more and more like a theme park every time I visit.

yeah, it's a different landscape now. I left in 94, sure wish I'd taken more pictures.
