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

This is the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) system. We have 8 lines I believe, that is train systems.
1.The Brown Line (which goes from Albany Park to the Loop)
2. The Blue Line (goes from O’hare Airport to Forest Park)
3. The Orange Line (goes from Midway Airport towards the loop)
4. The Purple Line (goes from Evanston into the loop)
5. The Green Line (goes from Oak Park into the loop, and then towards Engel Wood)
6. The Pink Line (goes the loop to Little Village and passed 54th)
7. The Yellow Line (goes from Skokie into the Howard stop)
8. The Red Line (goes from Howard station, all the way to 97th/Dan Ryan)
So these trains go pretty far south, north, a bit west, and a bit east. I scanned this from my Moleskine Chicago. I live close to the Brown Line, and shy from the Blue line. Normally if I take the train to work, I take the brown line. It drops me right off.

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!

This is my icon photo. I am holding a “Chicago” moleskine. It’s basically the travel moleskines that you fill in with your favorite places to eat, stores, people you’ve met, etc. I thought it’d be fun to get one from Chicago.
