You can leave Chicago but Chicago never leaves you.

I know the city isn't what it used to be, but the Chicago I used to know and love lives on in my memories.

Here are a couple photos I took on 110 film almost 25 years ago in upstate New York.

I love anthropomorphic playground equipment.

They make me nostalgic for the old McDonald's restaurants that had the cheeseburger chairs with the little eyeballs.

Summer in Chicagoland is hot, but the water in Lake Michigan doesn’t really warm up until late July and August.

Here are a couple snapshots taken over 10 years ago at Tower Road Beach.

We took the Metra up to Winnetka from the city for a day trip of sunshine and relaxation.

After a very hectic 2 weeks it was wonderful to visit Seaside to soak in the sun.

Back in Chicago our favorite way to relax was to walk along Lake Michigan, but wading in The Gulf while sipping lemonade is a perfect Florida substitute.
