Edvard Munch


From the amazing Edvard Munch exhibit at the Art Institute:





"I saw all the people behind their masks - smiling, phlegmatic - composed faces - I saw through them and there was suffering - all of them - pale corpses - who whitout rest ran around - along a twisted road - at the end of which was the grave."

~Edvard Munch

Those Bloody Potholes


Chicago Public Radio on potholes in the city:

In the past few days, it's finally started to feel like winter has come to an end in Chicago. But the season has left its mark. Thousands of potholes still dot the city's streets, making driving and biking more hazardous than usual. For a month, WBEZ has been asking people to send us photographs of the city's most outrageous potholes. This is the tale of a few of them.

See pictures and vote for the worst pothole here.
