Perfect date night


Gentlemen. This time of year, you don't have to try too hard. Romance is already in the air, everywhere you turn.

The patio of Petterino's in the heart of Chicago's theatre district is a great example. Just take her out!

Sweet delights


The colors of the gelato in the Lavazza coffee shop in Ogilvie Transportation Center, part of my morning commute, absolutely make my day.

The pistachio, the cherry, the hazelnut. So delicious and so inspiring!

Enchanting entry


Chicago is a city with big time curb appeal, especially this time of year. The humidity and the heat make the ivy and flower boxes just explode! Such a welcome change, after a long, long winter.

This Lincoln Park brownstone, which I passed on my way to the Fullerton stop, was simply overtaken by the green stuff. And it's beauty was enhanced, remarkably, even more so.
