...With A "K."

"With A K" because everyone otherwise spells my name with a "C."

It’s not your imagination. The media furiously covered Ebola … .until just after the midterms.

Goddammit.

The picture is of nothing but white dudes.

Well, that's something I certainly didn't expect to happen last night.

Big news in Chicago’s skyscraper world: The John Hancock Center is planning a tourist experience called the “Tilt” that would rival the Willis Tower’s Ledge. Visitors to the Hancock would be strapped inside an enclosed glass box protruding from the observatory, which then would tilt, creating downward-facing views of downtown.

Vexing AND insolent, people.

I think I’ve seen that sign, but can’t place the store.

Leland Liquors. Leland & Western. Dude enforces it, too.

I don’t want to ever come off as bitter about music, or like I hate everything. If I don’t like stuff, then I change the channel. There’s stuff that can be ignored. Then there’s stuff that’s so inexcusable, I would go out of my way if their van [4 Non Blondes] was parked by the club to slash the tires and kick the door panels in. Or their bus. Probably their private jet. Fuck.

Again, damn.

The day I got laid off, I had an $1,800 lens delivered to my house. I ordered it last week because the company hadn’t bought me a wide angle lens in 10 years and mine didn’t work anymore. I was willing to invest almost 2,000 dollars in making their product better and they were not willing to invest in me anymore.

Damn.

I thought this was interesting. What surface parking lots did to Cleaveland’s warehouse district (which is a nationally recognized historic district, oops). 

1960s vs today.

The proposed Sky Tower on North Michigan Ave, 1963, Chicago. Note the Palmolive and Water Tower models.

I think we dodged a bullet with that one, although some would argue it would have been better than the Hancock and Water Tower Place.

I rarely reblog Calumet412, but I'm doing so only because I want to believe they dislike the look of the Hancock and Water Tower Place as much as I do.

Screen grab of Joe Walsh's wikipedia page saying he's "literally insane."

Awesome.

Thanks, TOC.
