Last night I took the Blue Line to Damen and got take out sushi at Blue Fin. In the top photo, which was taken from the El platform, Blue Fin is at the butt end of the bus on the right.

Speaking of cameras and pictures, Rachelle, I agree that your skills in using your camera are phenomenonal. I am planning to buy a digital camera myself and just checked out the S200 Digital Elph. To my surprise, it’s specs are pretty low compared to the newer models in the market. Just 2MP and 2X optical zoom…

Bucktown/Wicker Park To Incorporate And Take Name “Lincoln Park The Second”
Everybody’s favorite rock stars Bucktown and Wicker Park are selling out. It used to be about the art man, but now they’re releasing sugary pop songs written by Swedes and advertisements disguised as pop-art. We knew the day would come, “>rumors have b…
