Banksy in Chicago

Ok, so I know the blog is supposed to be from Karlie AND Josh but she has done all the work until now. Here is my first post, and I think I have chosen an appropriate name for it. :)

Karlie sent me the link from Chicagoist about a cool underground street artist that is new to me and I dig his work. He recently made his first appearence in Chicago and Karlie was not sure where exactly, so I did a little research, turns out his first Chicago piece was done only 1 building from where we just enjoyed some great pasta, Vivo. Anyway, I decided to walk around the Meatpacking District (and yes, it is an ACTUAL Meatpacking area, get your mind out of the gutter) here in Chicago and I found this cool looking piece.




I walked around a bit more and there were some pretty cool photo ops but I think we need to upgrade our camera first. I kinda broke our camera a few years back so our zoom is pretty lame and too much sun gets into the shot, and yet I digress. Here is the link that Karlie sent me and a link to the artist website as well.

What do you think, ya own the place...

A few weeks ago we went to the cubs game.  The day started like this...

We we're very happy to be there

Half way through the game, we looked over and guess who was standing next to us...

Yep...thats Tom Ricketts the OWNER of the Chicago Cubs

He was very nice and signed a bunch of autographs.  Meeting him must of been good luck because Josh FINALLY got to see the cubs win!

Forget Disneyland, THIS is the happiest place on Earth

Number 7

Congrats to our little neighborhood restaurant, Alinea , for being voted the seventh best restaurant in the WORLD!

According to the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants 2010 list, Alinea is now the number 1 restaurant in the nation.

At around $225 for dinner we're not sure if we will ever dine there, but ya never know.

Josh: "Well...Happy 1 week before Mothers Day!!"

Something New

Every Wednesday Josh and I try to do something new.  It doesnt always work, but we do our best.

A few weeks ago we did this...

Our first ride on the Water Taxi.  Great cheap way to get from my work to Michigan Ave.

Big news...The Chicago-area has officially broken ground on the first Chick-Fil-A

The Aurora location is scheduled to open in August and the locations in Orland Park and Wheaten will open later in the fall. They plan to open 6 locations in Chicago but they are not sure where. We vote for Lincoln Park!
