Snow In Spring?

Early this week we welcomed spring, the next day we were forced to welcome snow as well. Fortunately this weekend was warmer and I can finally feel the spring breeze on its way.

Landmark Cinema Theater

This cinema theater is one of the few old style theaters that remain in the city. It's interior has been rehabbed but the old exterior remains lovely. It rests on a very busy and populated street - Clark Avenue. It's also one of the few places where international films can be viewed. I enjoy coming here then talking about the films at a nearby creperie, especially during Chicago Latino Film Festival.

HR4437 Latinos Unite & March

This Friday March 10th, thousands of people from all races, the majority from Mexican decent, Marched against a bill that is up for review in the Senate. HR4437 calls for harsher actions against immigrants in the U.S. making illegal immigrants felons. Nearly 100,000 protesters rallied at the Federal building where politicians like Mayor Richard M. Daley, Congressman Luis Gutierrez and Govenor Rod Blagojevich supported immigrant rights.

Lakeshore Drive

I cannot wait for spring to come - I want to see green again. Lakeshore drive is always a favorite drive through spot of mine. During winter months, as when pictured here, the sight seems more gray and dirty. The salt accumulates and forms a crust over the pavement and barriers. The bear trees and frozen water from the expressway path are unequipped to brighten my mood. The smooth drive and lake side waves are a better comfort. I envision what spring will bring and look forward to that future along with mine.
