Seeing the Good Humor man in The Loop got me all nostalgic.

When I was a kid in Evanston, the Good Humor ice cream truck came by every night in summer.

We kids came pouring out the doors when we heard the bells jingle. Joe was our Good Humor Man. He wore a crisp white uniform with a white cap.

More Shots of the City I Love

Trump Tower is finally just about finished. From left; a bit of Marina City, IBM Tower. Trump Tower is flying the Chicago flag and the American flag.



Do the twin buildings look like salt shakers, or do you think they look like corn cobs? To the right is Marina City, IBM Tower, and Trump Tower.
