Welcome to the family

Our newest addition:

Loyola's Information Commons

Here's where I study. Well, usually. I did, anyways. This is the newest building on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola. It is four stories of study space. You won't find any books in this building, just computers. And laptops. And more computers. I took this picture after one of my last summer study days. Since then, we've moved about seven miles north to Evanston. This makes my commute a bit farther (by train instead of foot). This means I'll probably study elsewhere now, perhaps at the Northwestern Library (which looks so old school in comparison).

Harold Washington Library

This library is big. Really. At one point, it used to be the biggest library in the world, but now it's just the biggest library I've ever been to. It has four or five or six floors and about every book anyone could ever want. It's nice to have a library card in Chicago, especially when my home library doesn't have something. I just hop on the red line, get off, and walk across the street.

Chicago Bridges

I think I can see four bridges in this picture. That's four of about thirty or so bridges just near the loop. There is also a lot of history involved with the bridges as this page illustrates. When you get there, scroll down to 2004 on the timeline, and you'll find a bit of ick. Here's the lawsuit to prove that it happened. I wonder what the outcome was.
