the glowing towers in millenium park are really cool. for those not in the know, they change colours and each have one side dominated by a giant face that changes emotion or expression. then the faces change every ten minutes or so. i don't know what the piece signifies but its fun to watch and they make a nice meeting point.

introducing chicago's most infamous hidden landmark...the shit fountain.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/jrt123/CIMG1063.jpg

supposedly the forgotten relic of a fratboy joke from the 70s, the shit fountain actually still works and seems pretty well looked after. i didn't taste the water.

went to white castle, haha (i hate the face i'm making here)

i like to think the guy behind is the wayans brother from harold and kumar

i seem to remember maggie posting pics of pilsen and its murals, but anyway:

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/jrt123/mural.jpg

what kind of self-respecting laborer would write something so cloyingly desperate?

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/jrt123/mat.jpg

i took many shots of pilsen, but this image struck me the most. pilsen is hella decrepit, yo. and this guy was standing just outside the shot who i'm pretty sure was a drug dealer.

I'd love to visit that city. Looks awesome man.

edit: referring to part 1

I'd have to say it is my favourite city in America that I have visited. I've been there about 7-10 times.

how was staying in a hostel?

how was staying in a hostel?

great. although, as it happened, i only ended up spending one night there. i crashed my friend's house basically every other night. i just used the hostel for storage and taking showers, really. though it was very affordable and clean and friendly. i'd definitely stay there again.

your manner of dress is very visually offensive.

seems like every day is halloween for you, isle

apologize to vanilla immediately

i went to london, looked at the bridge and was like "fuck off!" and thats it. london bridge doesnt look as cool in photos as it seemed in my dream though.

Do you mean tower bridge? London bridge is boring as fuck.

Has anyone every wondered why multi-colored keyboards have yet to be marketed to the public? I'd like a lime green and pink one

i used to have a lime green n pink etch-a-sketch. good times.

best color combo ever though.

What other wacky color combinations do you enjoy

pistachio green and orange ochre, separated by white

lime green and pink with black and white (ie dragonfruit)

old school gameboy colours; screen green, case grey and button cherry

yellow filter on a grey scene

ed: teal and crimson

Isle why do you dress like a brain damaged blind woman

to make you wonder

heh!
