Things I will miss about Chicago

heather-rivers:

  • Hitchcock Movies in the Park
  • People knowing who Wesley Willis is
  • Daaaa Bears!
  • Stopping by the Ghirardelli downtown for free samples so much that they probably have our pictures behind the counter
  • The Art Institute, one of the few museums I could actually live in
  • How each miserable winter unites us all in commiseration
  • How each miserable summer unites us all in commiseration
  • How that one nice week each spring and fall unites us all in joyful appreciation
  • Harold’s Fried the Chicken King! My favorite Fail
  • Riding my bike along the beautiful lake shore
  • B.L.U.E.S.
  • The ten or twelve other people in the city who don’t give a shit about baseball
  • My genuinely beloved alma mater
  • People watching on the red line
  • How French people react when they find out you live in la cité des gangsters: Al Capooone! Pow-pow! Ouaaai!
  • Deep dish “pizza”
  • Descartes on Michigan when it’s cold and wet
  • The bright green Chicago River on St. Patrick’s Day
  • Funky Pilsen coffee shops, including but not limited to Kristoffer’s and the Jumping Bean
  • Living three blocks from Obama’s house before he moved to DC
  • The Point at any point
  • Regina, Paulina and Lunt
