Another week has gone by. Its amazing how fast time moves here in the city.
Exploring Old Town
There are a lot of places around the city that I love. The bakery in logan square, the book store on the University of Chicago's campus and Bar Louie in Hyde Park. My love for Old Town however surpasses the love of an individual bar or bakery. This is more than likely my favorite neighborhood in Chicago.
New Exhibits at the Chicago Cultural Center
Graffitti and street art... Before coming to Chicago I had always seen it as an eyesore. Mainly because the "street art" that covers my the area around my campus and hometown are spray painted cuss words and sexual sysmbels. None of it really met my standards of being art. However, in Chicago there is more to street art then the cuss word and sexual symbol. To celebrate the street at in Chicago, the cultural center is exhibiting local chicago street artists. I still do not know what my opinion of street art is... But it is intriguing to look at.
