Galleria 1712 showcases emerging artists from the Chicago area. Original paintings, photography, jewelry, accessories, home decor and more. You can get a lot of shopping done in this little space!

Under a tree, I left my bicycle. Walked past The Tower, trekked thru The Zoo, saw a Silver Cloud & met Rothschild at the store

Trend Watch: Gladiators - Can Bucktown make Rusty Crowe proud?

So, I have a very simple job here at the Windy Citizen. Do crazy stuff, do it with crazy people and don't miss the damn zombie march.
