For Mother's Day Dave sent me to Chicago to visit with Audrey. I had a delightful visit which included a lot of walking in her neighborhood of
Pilsen. This was originally a Polish area and now is Hispanic with gentrification inching its way in on the fringes. Every block is colorful with great
panaderias, churches and random Mariachi band members walking down the street.

Chicago red! I remember looking at Chicago from the top of the sears Tower - it is all kind of rusty color! I really like murals on the street - really enjoyed your finds! Thank you!
So cheerful to look at all that color. I like the red on yellow eagle(?) mural.
Very colorful wall paintings. And the tulips are lovely.. one of my favorite flowers!
Oh what a treat .. I love Chicago .. looks like you had decent weather too ..

Colorful and bright.
I love the juxtaposition in the second one of the old architectural detail with the bright colors and graphics of a newer time.
Wonderful shot of the tulips.
Those walls are just teeming with color and life.
Those panaderias are great !!!!!!
