Chicago Map by Neighborhood

Found this map of Chicago and all of its parks and neighborhoods on "Strange Maps" on the internet along with the text.

"Not many people know that the epithet Windy City was bestowed on Chicago not for meteorological but political reasons – apparently, Chicago politicians at one time were known for the windiness of their speeches. Its Latin motto – Urbs in horto; the city in the garden – reflects its spaciousness, as it sprawls out in all directions save that of Lake Michigan, on the shore of which it was founded.

Another nickname, the Second City, belies the fact that it is now the third-largest US city, after New York and Los Angeles, with almost 3 million in Chicago proper and almost 10 million in its metro area, dubbed ‘Chicagoland’. The Indian term at the origin of the city’s name, shikaakwa, means ’striped skunk’, by the way."

Live Webcam from Wicker Park

Live web cam transmitting from the very center of wicker Park.
Looking out the window of the 3rd floor of the Flat Iron Arts Building to the intersection of Milwaukee coming from the right side of the screen, North Avenue from the right while Damen Avenue crosses them.
This web cam is an experiment at integrating and presenting online one of the busiest intersections in Chicago and maybe the world, there is always something going on in here, irregardless of the day of the week or time of the day.

Getting into face

Bernard Colbert is pleased to announce an exhibit of photographic images, featuring two well known and extremely talented performance artists. An artist reception will be held on Friday, January 18th, 2008, from 6-10pm at Gallery 203, 1579 N. Milwaukee, Chicago, IL, 60622 (the Flat Iron Arts Building).
“Getting Into Face” is a year long project, documenting JoJo and Sal-E on a weekly basis. They transform themselves into living works of art (get into face) before leaving for work, as the hosts of the ‘Boom Boom Room’ nightclub event, at the ‘Green Dolphin Street’, Chicago.

Dorothy Perry - Photographer

My name is Dorothy Perry, and I've been a professional wedding and family photographer in Chicago for over eight years. I have a boutique studio with editorial and commercial clients, but am known best for my intuitive, spontaneous "zen-moment" photo sessions of infants and families in BW film and color digital. It also made me a psychic and intuitive healer in 2005...

Ivan Garcia - Brocha Gorda

STUDIO 314 Born in Mexico City in 198? He went as a listener at "La Esmeralda, Escuela Nacional de pintura y grabado" where he had the chance to experiment with different medias. A few months ago he moved to Chicago and landed in the Flat Iron Building where he's working now. His work -in his own words- is abstract and experimental.

Howard Webb

I paint in order to understand without explaining in words. Although words can suggest images it is the images not the explanation I am after. I work to bring the images to the surface as well as awaken to the images already on the surface. Inevitably I usually see figurative images, even in landscapes. Most of all I relish a work which offers a meaningful sense of mystery to the viewer, suggesting one thing on Monday and something new on Friday.

Double Exposure - Photography

"Being the reactionary that I am, I tend to be fairly simplistic in my set up, and allow things to go they're own way - then capture a moment in time that's unique. "

Daniel Mastera - Painter

All artists are lazy pigs who just want to do only what they like and take advantage of all the foolish people who pay money for their stupid shit.

Joe Sikora - Painter

Marjorie O'Brill - Artist

No longer in the building.

Charles Reese

“First and foremost, I am a colorist. Along with color, keys to my artwork are balance, composition, line and movement. I am a painter by training, inclination and choice. My desire is to create and develop new images, which have an element of beauty, movement and mystery, creating emotional impact that viewers can enjoy and appreciate.”

“The story behind my artwork is centered on the challenge: intellectually, physically and emotionally, to develop a setting or a composition that incorporates line, form and color to present an image of movement, rhythm and mystery.”

Kevin Lahvic - Artist

I"Ask a class of first graders if there are any artists in the room and they will always raise their hands. My hand 's still up."

Baltazar Castillo - Painter

Karen Gagich - Painter

Tile maker

Bern - Painter

I create these images as painted expressions of patterned organic energy. Blending the subconscious and sacred geometry into unfolding symbolic harmony. Inspired by the symmetry of nature
