Christina from Chicago

This will be a narrative of my life in Chicago. For now it's a work in progress/experimental stage. I want to post pictures of different parts of Chicago, and write about different places. One month might be solely on Cafe's around Chicago, or Pastry shops, or underground book stores. I was born and raised in Chicago, so I will give you the worst, and the best of the city I call home.

Wanna holla? Got a question or request of what you want to see in Chi Town

I’m at Caribou Coffee right now. I got a Campfire Mocha, and a Lemon Bread. Caribou doesn’t have the best coffee (compared to Starbucks), but they do have the best Mocha’s. I have had the Campfire Mocha which I guess starting today you can choose milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. They also add mini marshmallows, and whip cream. Which is the picture above. I asked for a mug, since I was going to be in house. This Caribou is on Clark and Wellington in the Lakeview Neighborhood. Pros - Great Mocha’s - Free Wi-Fi - Open late - Good music, good staff Cons - A little pricey - Sometimes over crowded - Coffee is not so good - Not open 24 hours.. hehe

The infamous “Cloud Gate” BKA “Da Bean”. Heh I added “Da” part. Everybody and their mama has a picture of this bean that is located in Millennium Park. I have taken countless pictures from the bean also. It’s such a cool, piece of art. Yes, I took this picture last summer. I’ve posted it before. If you click on the picture, it will take you to more info on wikipedia. If you know of a better link, to a better site, Holla at ya girl! -Christina from Chicago
