Let It Snow!

So, today was the year's first real snow. Although, we did have an ice storm last weekend. (Hint: 1/2 inch of ice is not fun to scrape off a car.) Back to the snow though. I think it looks pretty good around the city. Then again, I'm not having to drive or shovel through any of it. (Yay for the L and apartment living!) Anyway, as a study break, I snapped a few pics.

The Park Next to My Apartment

I haven't really used this park all that much. Although, it's nice to have the option.

Depaul Loop Campus
(State/Jackson)
One of my homes away from home. I like studying up in their library because there's no homeless (Chicago public library) and there's a bunch of food options around (unlike UIC's library). I might be mentioning this place as part of a future post.

Wrigley Building
The clock reminds me of the one from city hall in Back to the Future. I don't think Chicago would be cool with "weather experiments" on this particular one.

On the State Street Bridge

I've always thought the bridges over the river looked cool. Can't really see that in the darkness though. Aforementioned Wrigley Building in the background, Trump Tower being built in the left foreground.

Magnificent Mile
(~Grand/Michigan)

I like how Chicago dresses up downtown for Christmas. All the trees are lit up and quite a few skyscrapers even have red/green lights up top.
