Or as I always like to joke whenever I am in this neighborhood, that it is Little Portland...or basically the place you will find me when I am missing Portland if I ever end up living in Chicago. All of these photos have had some Photoshop touches added to them, but for the most part I like to keep my editing limited, though a couple shots were bad, quick snap shots that turned out to look much cooler with extra editing.
These photos were taken in mid May of 2010....I have just be that lazy and haven't gotten around to posting them in here till now...which I have much more coming of Chicago, Seattle, Denver, and San Francisco...and maybe a few Portland ones too. Which all of them and more can be found on my flickr page.

I have heard suggestions and rumors that this building would make the perfect location for an Ace Hotel...not sure if that is true or not, but I would be in heaven having Stumptown Coffee on the first floor of this building.

This photo was a happy accident, It was extremely cloudy when I took these photos and while I knew the sun was in this shot, I wasn't expecting the camera to pick it up through the clouds.

Here is one of those photos that looked like crap until I played around with it a little bit.

This is another one of those crappy photos, but I really loved the car action that I accidentally got in it and needed to play with it to make it decent enough to enjoy.

This is really one of my most favorite buildings in Chicago...I just wish I wouldn't get turned around every damn time I am in that neighborhood...even with Google Maps on my phone, I still get screwed up in this area.
Well that is all I took while I was in Wicker Park, we were hunting out a bar that served micro brews and had an all organic neighborhood...when we walked into the bar, I seriously felt like I was entering a place in Portland...the place's hipster pretentiousness made me feel at home.
