Streets and Sam

The short version: A picture a day from the point at which two streets meet (approximately). The long version: One of the things I love about and am grateful for in my job as a hospice social worker is that it leads me all over Chicago. I've been up and down the grid system and have seen more sides of the city than I ever thought I would. The beautiful sides of the city -- the skyline, the architecture, the carefully planned nature -- are truly wonderful and if you don't agree with me, I will fight you. But the less photogenic, even ugly sides of the city -- the crumbling blocks, the abandoned buildings, the forgotten stories -- those are also beautiful if given the chance. I will fight you over those, too.
