"Blinking Lights & Other Revelations"
Since it was raining we went browsing through stores in Boystown - the cultural centre of Chicago that on a side note also was the first officially recognized gay area in the United States. I loved this place, the low buildings and cozy atmosphere reminded me of the outskirts of Toronto and was a nice contrast to the skyscraper Mekka that is downtown Chicago.
This picture was taken in one of the many antique/stuffy stuff stores of Boystown. My favorite store of the day of course turned out to be a record store - Reckless Records. No surprises there. Big ups to Janell and Miranda for allowing me to browse for a while (even though, as Miranda noted, I was rather quick compared to my typical rounds at Amoeba in San Francisco), I found some awesome stuff!
