Quintessential expressions of nineteenth-century American urbanity, alleys have been part of Chicago's physical fabric since the beginning. Eighteen feet in width, they graced all 58 blocks of the Illinois & Michigan Canal commissioners' original town plat in 1830, providing rear service access to property facing the 80-foot-wide main streets. But private platting soon produced a few blocks without alleys, mostly in the Near North Side's early mansion district or in the haphazardly laid-out industrial workingmen's neighborhoods on the Near South Side. Remarkably, however, alleys became the overwhelming norm in city platting, as the national land survey imposed its grid framework upon Chicago's expanding street and block pattern. Together, they enabled the city to evolve a “system” of mass-produced services and mass-produced access, one of the civic accomplishments of the century. By 1900, over 98 percent of the city's residential blocks had alleys, and, a century later, the proportion was still well over 90 percent.
after the snow yesterday we got really chilling temperatures today.... so my clothes line became frozen with this curious shape. Funny!
Lots of the streets in our little town are nicely tree-lined!

April 18, 2012 marks the 70th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid...the "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" raid led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle when 16 B-25 medium bombers launched from the carrier USS Hornet and attacked targets in Japan.
In a tribute to the five surviving Doolittle Raiders...and to the memory of the other 75...20 B-25's gathered at Grimes Field in Urbana, OH. On the morning of April 17, 2012; the bombers launched from Grimes in 90 second intervals for the short trip down to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the National Museum of the Air Force.
Activities will continue for the remainder of the week...including a Memorial Flight featuring a mass formation of the B-25's.
This view of the bomber lineup at Wright-Pat AFB was shot from a set of air-stairs...there was a set at either end of the flight line and photographers had only to wait a few minutes on line to climb the stairs and capture a view like this one.

My second year at Italia a Zandvoort with my good friend Dufornee but what a weather we had.
It rained almost all day and it was difficult due to the weather conditions to make nice and good shots. A few shots came out nice.
