Never forget.

Historic image of Water Tower ruins after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Probably my favorite historic image of the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. Apparently coffee shops were just as important in the 1870s as they are today. Hurry somebody open up “Burnt District Coffee House” ASAP!

Historic image from the C.R. Clark photograph book (Newberry Library) that shows the Court House Ruins at Clark & Washington after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Historic image looking down Pine Street (what is now Michigan Avenue) with the Water Tower ruins after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

I wish I could tell if the house centipedes that I've been meticulously catching and tossing outside are actually the same one that's just coming back inside, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna try to paint a centipede before it gets yeeted

Chicago was named the Best Big City in the U.S for the 9th time in a row by Condé Nast! Through thick and thin I'm forever proud to call this city home ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

An aerial view of Chicago via helicopter. The city and skyline are backlit by the sun covered puffy clouds.

A dramatic cotton-candy sunset provides the backdrop for the Chicago skyline with Willis Tower in the center

The cit of Chicago viewed from an observation deck at dusk. A very low, shallow layer of fog is illuminated by city lights while skyscrapers jut from the cloud bank

The distant St. Regis hotel skyscraper is in the distance, while autumnal grasses and wildflowers are out of focusing the foreground at Northerly Island.

I've always meant to pick it up. full disclosure I'm going with Neovim + VSCode to start. maybe someday I'll go hardcore and ditch the IDE entirely
