Toxic forever chemicals are dramatically on the rise in Lake Michigan and have been detected in all of the Great Lakes.
The new study found airborne concentrations of PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are much higher near Chicago, Detroit and other urban areas. Previous research recorded similar patterns for other toxic chemicals. #ClimateChange#GreatLakes#Chicago#Detroit#Michigan
Always worth remembering this. Saw this sign last weekend at Middle East Bakery in Andersonville, Chicago. It is a great Arabic grocery store with a small restaurant attached to it. They make many things fresh, including some good spice mixes.
Amid the cornucopia of windows in this photo, don’t miss the commuter #train windows at the bottom.
I recently returned from the American Literature Association conference in Chicago, so expect some FensterFreitag and WindowFriday photos, over the coming weeks, from the city of big shoulders.
The Chicago Board of Trade building anchors LaSalle Street in the financial district. It serves as headquarters for Bruce Wayne Enterprises in Batman:The Dark Knight.
A vibrant Chicago cityscape features a variety of modern skyscrapers and high-rise buildings against a clear blue sky. The foreground is dominated by a calm body of water where boats can be seen.

We went out for shopping on #Saturday. Met up with a friend and went to Thaliva Indian Kitchen in Park Ridge. It is a place we have been wanting to go to for a while after someone told us it some of the best South Indian in #Chicagoland. We got dosas and finished the day with a South Indian Filter Coffee. Worth a trip out on the Metra!
The Nicholas J Melas Centennial Fountain in Chicago IL, large multi-tiered fountain cascades water down its circular steps. Vibrant pink flowers hang from the railing enhancing the picturesque setting.
Hey, #Chicago area! I just found out that Cook County residents can order up to 2 rain barrels for $21.50 a pop (delivery included!!) through the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District—who'll also send you #milkweed seeds. I'm awaiting the arrival of both with far too much glee.
