Especially when it’s about 40 degrees out. The guy on the left is actually dressed appropriately.

25 E. Washington Street, The Loop, Chicago
I’ve been to the dentist far too much in the past couple months. You don’t even want to get me started on the fillings I’ve had replaced, the multiple visits to get a crown redone and then when I thought it was all done, I had to go back because just a day later I chipped off a chunk of tooth and filling. Not fun.
One thing I do like, though, is the building my dentist office is in. It’s at 25 East Washington Street. The outside of the building is not too remarkable, even though it was designed by D.H. Burnham & Company and was completed in 1914. What I really like about the building is the main lobby. I love the ceiling. You just don’t see this kind of decoration on ceilings any more!

Back in February I was hanging out with Allison and we went to Bombon Bakery & Cafe near her condo in the West Loop to get a cake for Kristin’s birthday that night. We had already had lunch, but Allison said that Bombon had really great sandwiches.
A few months later… ok, it was just a week or two ago… I noticed that there was a Bombon Cafe on Washington Street right where I get off the train every day. I don’t think it’s been there too long, although the front is really pretty nondescript, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Jess, Traci and I tried it out for lunch one day and it was fantastic. Greg and I planned to get lunch yesterday and I suggested we go. It was great.
Bombon is a full bakery as well as cafe and it while it has a wide selection of pastries, much of them and the cafe menu are Mexican. So far I’ve only had sandwiches, but there are 16 different Mexican sandwiches to choose from and so far every one has been delicious. I’m going to work my way down the list, I swear. When you walk in, you get in line and order then either take your food down or sit with your number and your food will be delivered. The bakery section is in the back and you can order from the bakery case separately. They have everything from cookies to tortes to great big huge cakes.
I was hesitant to post this because sometimes the line can get long already, but I love this place and hope they open more. They’ve already got 3 or 4 around the city.

I always admire the ornamentation on The Civic Opera House. I’ve been looking around online, but I can’t figure out who the artist/sculpture was.
