Some Photos

I just took a bike ride to check out the new stencil of Rod Blagojevich taking a jog that someone threw up on Hubbard about two blocks east of Halsted.



Here's another spot I really like. This is the 'bridge to nowhere' that goes over the tracks running along Halsted. It's a remnant of the old Paulina El Line and remains standing due to its modified use for signals on the Metra line.



Here are a pair of my favorite desolate houses on Hubbard.



It's me! I'm biking!



Last and certainly not least, happy birthday to my brother Mike! He would have been 18 today.

Ah remnants of the city. Sounds like you'll be swept to sea with the flotsam and jetsam soon enough.

I am a huge fan of the jogging Blago stencil! Great stuff.

there is a new blago stencil on Ogden south of Hubbard under the Metra overpass. It is him rubbing his hands over a campfire in hobo mode. It is pretty cool looking

funny, because i always thought of joe mac as a campfire in hobo mode.

I love the boy running in black and white on the side of that wall, so cool.
Was that graffiti, or meant to be there?
