Sears Tower
The Sears Tower still amazes me. It's just a collection of blocks but it's presence can not only seen miles away but is felt, especially when you are so close to it.

The Chicago Skyline
My very first and poor attempt at stitching but the subject matter is worth another stab at it. Please come back soon, hopefully I'll have better work by then.

Chicago Housing Authority (CHA)
The tall building on the right is one of the 'project' buildings for lower income housing. There is a current project underway by the CHicago Mayor - Richard M. Daley. Many of these will be torn down, especially near the loop and lake front, and the many habitants will be forced to move to the sub-burbs or find their own shelter.
Info added from anonymous reader. View original statements within the comments link:
The vast majority of relocatees are not in the suburbs, but in the city of Chicago in the following communities: South Shore, Roseland, and Englewood. In fact, CHA voucher holders make up 15% of rental units in Englewood alone. Residents are also provided relocation services through the Chicago Housing Choice Voucher program which provides heavily subsidized vouchers for lease compliant residents to move to a high opportunity low-crime diverse area of the city. Many residents CHOOSE to live in the areas mentioned due to their desire to remain close to the familiar: family, friends, schools, and services that they are familiar with. -- Anonymous Reader
I question how effectively this program will work and leave open any other news I have more than likely missed regarding what immediate housing solutions will be made for the many squatters residing in these buildings.

Webster & Belden
This was my parking street for four years when I went to DePaul University, Towards the end of the street was the SAC - the Student Academic Center. What can I say I'm very biased I loved going to DePaul.

Demon Dogs
One of the best stops for a hot dog is at Demon Demon Dogs. Sitting right under the Fullerton train stop has beed a CHicago establishment for decades. I even recall my mom taking me here when I can a little girl.

Fullerton & Sheffield
Fullerton stop for multiple el-trains. Here stops the Red line, Brown line & Purple Line. All come the Chicago loop but extend further and west the more north you go. This was my stop when I went to school.
