General Growth, The Loop, Chicago

Since the Sun-Times building is no longer around, I think that General Growth has to be the ugliest building on the river. If you get up close you can see rows and rows of depressing cubicles.

DSW Makes Me Dizzy

DSW, Lakeview, Chicago

Until recently, I’d only been to DSW one time. It was with Lori and was out in the suburbs. I knew I needed to get some shoes for Molly & Eric’s wedding so I went online and looked up DSW locations and realized that the one in Chicago is right near the Belmont stop on the Red and Brown Lines. So, I went. I found a pair of versatile Nine West black dress shoes that worked out well and also got a cute pair of black & white Rocket Dogs for the spring/summer. Ironically, Lori met me there, so every time I’ve been to DSW has been with Lori. Afterwards we had dinner at Kitsch’n and went to Jen & Chad’s for a while.

On a side note, there was a pair of shoes I saw when we were shopping in Hawaii. They were also Rocket Dogs and had hula dancers on them and said “Aloha.” I didn’t buy them because I didn’t want to carry them in my luggage and then when I got home I looked at them on Zappos but I didn’t know if I still liked them or if it was a “vacation mode” thing. I saw them when we visited DSW and I really did like them, but they didn’t have my size. I went home and Zappos had one pair in my size left, so I got them.

Roscoe Village Neon

April 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

Roscoe Village is pretty quiet for the most part. One or two streets with a lot of small businesses, all the side streets are residential. Surprisingly, if you really take a minute to notice, there are a ton of neon signs between Damen and Western on Roscoe.
