    Lakeshore Drive-In and Lovecraft Country

    Going to the Drive-In during COVID I haven’t been to a drive-in since the late nineties. If memory serves me correctly, I saw a double feature of Twister and Erasure in the south suburbs.

    Hennessy

    What started out as a book launch became an evening to remember. I was at Aster Hall for John Hogan’s book launch about the Watertower. I was getting ready to leave when my friend texted me and joined me at the book launch. Afterwards, we were headed home, but I wanted to squeeze more out…

    St.Jane Hotel with Youth and Yarrow

    I’ve waited for the bus across the street from St. Jane Hotel more times than I can count. While listening to the reggae beats of Mr. Brown’s Lounge, I’ve glanced into the posh window of Free Reign and glimpsed into a life more stylish than mine. Until today. St. Jane Hotel and Youth and Yarrow…
