sunday in ravenswood

i'm really glad leff and i have finally found time to explore around wilson/uptown/ravenswood. it's something we've been meaning to do for about a year but, well, you know how time goes.

since i'm still a newbie in chicago, i didn't know about the hull house gorilla. (lots more info at link!) 


we passed him on the way to lillstreet.  apparently, leff and i saw more of john kearney's work at oz park this summer but i didn't realize he had so many sculptures around town. i need to track down his deer! (oz park wasn't written up as i was on blog break. soz.)

anyway, lillstreet is incredible. so. many. amazing. ceramic pieces!!!! please hover for artists names (or look at tags that are listed in order of appearance.)





we also made it to architectural artifacts. it *really is* like a museum!
















one more shot of general ravenswood


and a picture of the banans we bought at lillstreet


and i'll let you go. it's thanksgiving week, after all and there's A LOT happening rn. see you after the holiday!
