Life in Chicago Vol. 3

[VivaLFuego]

Continued from Vol. 1 (click) (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=133673) and Vol. 2 (click) (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=133675)

This series tries to capture some scenes from life in Chicago for its many residents: from the neighborhoods, that is. Yeah ok, so some downtown shots snuck their way in. But most Chicagoans don't spend their daily lives, especially weekends, in the Loop or Millenium Park. It's a big city; beautiful yet ugly, frantic yet tranquil. Above all....it's really quite random.
