Beautiful, ornate building!
ReplyDeleteTeresa (Splendid Sass)
Absolutely exquisite!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful on the outside - - Not so much on the inside. Love the angle.
ReplyDeleteYou ever buy anything in there, Olive?
Tintin: Just a pair of Tommy Hilfinger city shorts. In tan. On sale. The store had already died by then.
ReplyDeleteEverything was on sale. All the time. CPS was like a beautiful woman - - who cheated on you all the time. So much going for it but nothing there.
ReplyDeleteTintin: She wasn't beautiful by the time I saw her. She had been passed over. The decay was palpable.
ReplyDeleteChicago is dead, Olive. Gone to the big mall in the sky. Richie will tear down anything to add to the tax base.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't moved back have you?
Shiny! And texture-y!
ReplyDeleteChicago is far from dead! It's great now. And Daley's not running for re-election. Bring on Rahm.
ReplyDeleteThis building is now being used for the School of the Art Institute, it's nice that it's been preserved.
