It’s been a while, and I have a lot of catching up to do, but while I write about all of my shenanigans and the next fantastic thing going on in Chicago, feast your eyes on this fun little picture!
I spotted this Vienna Beef truck cruisin’ it’s way down Randolph Street in the Loop and thought that it was so cute!
If you’re having a hard time reading it, here is what it says (starting from the top left corner where the “Da” is):
You know you are in Chicago if…
You use this adjective (Da) before saying the name of any local sports team (no it’s not an element from the periodic table!).
You fondly remember when this was the only one… 312
You like either the North side or the South side baseball team, but never both.
You take the words, “cooler by the lake” very seriously.
You still claim that the Sears Tower is the tallest skyscraper in the world.
You know the expressways by name, not number.
You stake claim to your freshly shoveled parking space with retro furniture.
You buy an umbrella every six months.
You commute 20 feet above street level.
You would prefer if New York just kept Macy’s.
You have two favourite football teams: Da Bears and anyone who beats the Packers! <— My favourite!! :o)
You fear the words, “lake effect”.
You play softball without a mitt.
You know what the phone number is to Empire Carpet.
Have a great day, Chicago!
Dev :o) xx
