A Day in Pictures

Coop! We had deep dish Chicago pizza at a renowned local place out here and enjoyed some brews over intimate conversation. I've known Coop all four years at Pitt and I heard he was out here in Chicago. He'a got a job with PNC Bank and making money. Far more difficult than the shit I'm doing, this kid (man) is working hard while staying in the same place. Something I haven't found the strength to do. Thank you Coop for housing us, my friend.

Bike path fresh out of Hammond.

Josh was on Tylenol and (feeling no pain) flew through the path with ease.

Stopping to take a picture of an extremely loud train that scared the shit out of me... one of the loudest "horns" I've ever heard.

Wolf Pond Bike Path just out of Hammond. Just across the pond was the sketchy South side of Chicago. Again, could see all the hype for it but it was nowhere near as bad as everyone says... Well... Not entirely true. There were 40 people murdered over this weekend in Chicago. Yeah... that's a lot for anywhere.

Soldier Field, where the Chicago Bears play. One of the most interesting architectural buildings I've ever seen.

Initially, I entered the Chicago Field Museum to see the prices. They closed in an hour and a half. I went outside to gather my bearings and the ticket salesman, Kendal, came outside smoking a cigarette.

"Listen, ya'll can come inside for the last hour and a half we're open," he said. "It's a cool exhibit to see."

Josh and I gawked at each other. We got in a $40 exhibit, free.

Humans.

Downtown Chicago.

We had a few beers on Coop's rooftop at his apartment. Awesome day.

It's 3am and I have to wake up at 7. We're doing everything here in Chi town. Till tomorrow.
