Happy Pride, #Chicago 🌈✨

It's always an incredible feeling taking in the energy from the crowds along the parade route.

'Twas the day before pride parade
and every #gay in the land
flocked to the beach
to get their suntan ☀️🌈

The energy throughout the #Loop during the No Kings protest was ever apparent as folks peacefully marched the streets in droves.

Finally navigated the #606trail to the western trailhead and back. Impatiently waiting for construction on the eastern extension to finally commence (and looking at Sterling Bay to build their portion across the #Chicago River through their failed Lincoln Yards megadevelopment).

After many years of planning (as well as delayed starts), the park at the confluence of the #Chicago River and Lake Michigan is on track to finally open in 2027, honoring Jean Baptiste Point du Sable.

What a desolate wasteland. It'd be a shame if they closed down some other streets in the city to prioritize pedestrians 😏

I never would have put "VA Republicans running a black woman and a gay man on the ballot for governor / lieutenant governor" on my bingo card this year, but nonetheless a historic choice in an election that will also give way to the first female governor in the Commonwealth.

I can't help but keep toeing the line between Threads and BlueSky - the types of engagement vary on each platform depending on the topic.

With a new floor being poured every three days and glass facade installation featuring #Chicago bay windows coming up from behind, the North tower of 400 N Lake Shore Drive is quickly making its mark as a signature tower for #Streeterville.

There were only a couple vessels this weekend, but it's still exciting to see things pick up steam as additional boats make their way up the river into #lakemichigan during the upcoming Wednesday/Saturday bridge lifts

Illinois Centennial Monument
Logan Square, #Chicago

The monument is a 42 foot Doric Greek column that is the same exact size and proportion as the Parthenon colonnade atop the Acropolis in Athens 🏛️

Taller, denser, transit oriented development along the nodes of the city's busiest heavy rail line is a no-brainer. It's great to see the proposal to upzone development in Uptown and Edgewater move forward, hopefully giving way to more affordable housing options for Chicagoans in the years to come.

Plan To Allow Taller Buildings, Boost Development On Broadway In Uptown, Edgewater Moves Forward

Three Far North Side alderpeople have endorsed plans to rezone a stretch of Broadway to attract more housing and businesses. The controversial plan has been hotly debated among neighbors.
