This Is Chicago

During my last few weeks of living in Chicago, I was thinking a lot about the city and my time in it, and I came up with this list of things that are essentially Chicago to me. Today I came across it, and it seemed like a good thing to post here. So, this is Chicago:

Free summer concerts at Millennium Park


House shows


The Hyde Park Jazz Society at Room 43


Sitting on the balcony of my apartment in Logan Square with my roommate, eating pasta, drinking beer and blasting Born Ruffians


Experimental electronics, violin and bass clarinet at Heaven Gallery


Experimental jazz Tuesday nights at Rodan


Monday night kickball at Haas Park (until the police kicked us out)


Playing music with roommates and friends


Riding the L


Late night jazz shows at the Green Mill


Table tennis at Happy Village Bar


Eating at Cozy Corner


Saturday Afternoon Shows at Domestication Station
