Avondale Houses

JTPhoto2010 has added a photo to the pool:

The Avondale neighborhood became part of Chicago in 1894. It became a working class neighborhood of Polish, Scandanavian, and German immigrants through the first half of the 20th century. In the 1980's and 90's the Latino community expanded and is now as present as the Polish population. Many businesses boast Polish and Spanish languages spoken.
Also in the 1990's, Polish and Eastern Europeans came to Avondale and ushered in the height of the Polish presence.

I enjoyed several coffees in Columbian, Purvian, and Polish cafes. I've included two photos from my shoot.
1) A row of houses build after World War II.
2) Basilica of St. Hyacinth

Powered by NS, CSX, and CP engines. Taken at the Edgebrook Metra Station, Devon at Lehigh, in Chicago. Illinois.

I used ACDSee Ultimate 9.1 to adjust the lighting and boost the contrast, vibrance & saturation a bit. Then I cropped it a little.

Black Friday on Michigan Avenue

player_pleasure has added a photo to the pool:

Protesters took to the streets this morning to protest the shooting death of Laquan McDonald at the hands of former Chicago Police Officer, Jason Van Dyke. While I don't usually make such appearances, I did today because I wanted to see what this meant to Black Friday. I read a lot of the signs folks carried. The most memorable sign was carried by a little girl with her parents; it read "Make Better Choices". The protest was largely peaceful as news reports just three arrests. It's a sad event for all involved in Chicago. May the spirit of the season serve to heal those most affected.

player_pleasure has added a photo to the pool:

I finally figured things out today. If I want rain then all I have to do is take a day off from work. Yes... I'm off from work tomorrow and the weather forecasters are calling for RAIN. Guess that means the drone is grounded yet another day. :-(

Well-preserved on the outside. Original railing, too. The downspout is rather ugly though...could've been placed elsewhere.

City Skyline

Erwinlopezccs has added a photo to the pool:

Despite the fact that some of the tallest buildings in the world were constructed in its soil during the polluted 20th century, Chicago tries to keep some of its public land for wildlife. Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, located between the beach and the harbor with the same name, is a place were birds like these ducks can rest with the certainty that humans around are there only to visit and take some pictures. This is a good example of how urban settlements can coexist with the environment.
