Lakeside at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Sheridan and Balmoral, 1921, Chicago.
Where my maternal grandparents honeymooned in the ’40s. The LSD extension in the early 50’s cut-off the hotel from the lakefront. And it closed in ‘67. [Wikipedia]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/1e524f164409250a5b50812639f2a03c/tumblr_mlewele5km1r79v1io1_500.jpg)

Lunchtime at the Michigan Terrace Apartments, 535 N Michigan Ave,1963, Chicago.
What a view. Except for that building in the middle ground on the right. Not my style.
We don’t “do” many beer dinners and I’m pretty sure this one is gonna be awesome.
And you read that correctly: GENERATOR is being served! Along with Iron Works which is now a March-only seasonal.
Just a little something from Metropolitan Brewing and friends!
calumet412: City car sticker, 1937, Chicago
Some of you may or may not know I have a Chicago History half-sleeve (nerd alert) and I kinda love the idea of having this old-timey-as-fuck imagery on the inside of my other (left) arm. I know I’m all, like, anti-car and pro-bike/public transit/walking but, since cars had yet to take over the world in 1937, I think this design is pretty badass.
And maybe I could counter it with some insane old timey lady all side-saddling a bike? Or wearing bloomers and leaving all the boys in the dust?
It transports you back to late 1960′s shithole-era Chicago. A time of hot summers, dangerous music, bully cops, cheap beer, aggressive pimps, ghetto sled Cadillacs with curb feelers, crime, grit, and an electricity in the air like the whole city could explode at any moment.
