Chicago Trip - November 2010

Turista bean stop.

Shaw's Crab House. I've been waiting almost a year to see that oyster smile. We enjoyed the Sunday buffet. I highly recommend it. Very nice and reasonably priced.

Gil and Martin at the Two Way Lounge.

Lamp at the Shedd Aquarium. Too bad the photo turned out poorly, this was really gorgeous.

The "Sleep" burger at Kuma's Corner. Turkey burger, mashed potatoes, deep fried tarragon leaves covered in gravy. I heard it was pretty tasty.

My dad and I.
I miss him so much. There are no words for how I feel. Just emptiness and fear.

Chicago Leftovers

Prudence in a hoodie!

My favorite Discount Village thrift store in Albany Park always has the best randoms. "While You Wait" maternity hose... there was a pile of it too!

Paisano Tacos. Tears.

Last Blast (of Chicago pix)!

The "Gold Dome" in OKC. It now houses a variety of businesses including the Prohibition Room, which serves some mean old school drinks and features a real nice wooden bar.

Stained glass from the Navy Pier Smith Museum of Stained Glass.

National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen (a lower west side Chicago neighborhood), IL. This is a detail from the painting below.

Photo of the ephemera that collected on my bedroom door. Probably the last bedroom door I will ever have that will be plastered with my random paper trails.

Chicago History Museum. As one of my friends said when I told her that I had went here: "why would you want to do that?". Well, it was pretty nice. I enjoyed myself and it was free... and I learned some things... etc etc.

Moving back to OKC

Etsy checkbook.

Back in OKC. I went to visit a friend in Norman and met his cat friend.

And his freshly bathed dog friend, Nesta!

After two days stuck in Joliet with car trouble, this sign was all I wanted to be passing by.

Industry!

Edith enjoyed the motel.

So did TT. Here she is getting a stretch from Brandy.

Edith snoozin' in Joliet, IL.

Edith loungin' in OKC! We finally made it!

A photo from Hot Doug's. We made it there just before leaving Chicago. I wasn't that impressed but I guess it isn't famous for it's veggie dogs.

An ice cream truck that had a "Dangerous" sign on it!?

Hah! Driving a Big Ass Truck!

Chicken Fried Plank at IHOP in OKC.

St. Louis: Busch Stadium.

A really pretty old postcard I found for my Aunt.
