Michigan Avenue goings-on

In the course of one day, here are some of the people I saw up and down Michigan Avenue.


Earnest nerd playing the guitar and singing to his girlfriend.


Young girls waiting for the Puerto Rican parade to begin.


More parade revelers.


Wedding party in front of the Wrigley Building.


A chess and checkers race game. Set up right in front of the Art Institute at night. Weird!

People and Art

My husband and I spent the weekend downtown, enjoying our beloved city in full Christmas swing.

It felt like a winter version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, so in that spirit, here are some people looking at the Impressionists.




Boys are always fascinated by girls.




I'm calling this one "Man with Clown".
