FINALLY trying the drinks at The Meadowlark and was not disappointed. Really terrific!

We’ve never been so back

I can always count on @chicagocta.bsky.social to help me get my steps in since their buses never show 🙂‍↕️

Only thing getting me through the day is omakase dinner tonight 🙂‍↕️

These three engraved “trunks” at St. Boniface Cemetery are some of the strangest and most unique grave markers I think I’ve ever seen.

Last year, I had a summer of Sazeracs and this year is not looking any different

(Paper) Bag secured

The Tylenol murders doc on Netflix was pretty good, but they didn’t even mention Stanley Tigerman!

Got the opportunity to spend the weekend at the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly in Monteagle, Tennessee. This Chautauqua community was established in 1882 and features a wide, really fun variety of cottage types built over a number of decades.

Still dreaming about this meat and three lunch yesterday at Kleer-Vu in Murfreesboro

Perfect selfie setting too

The famous 1930s Art Deco men’s room, with original Vitrolite walls, at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville.

Nashville’s Parthenon (1897), designed by William Crawford Smith, which I assume was the inspiration for the one in Athens

In Nashville for the next 24 hours and obsessed with this East Nashville building I stumbled on: Engine Company No. 18 Fire Hall (1930) by C.K. Kolley & Sons.

A friend who used to be part of Chicago Twitter (but has since burnt out on social media) just sent me these photos of a real estate office he found in Pawnee, IL featuring a house-shaped entryway with a detailed stone carving of a midcentury ranch house above it:

Hi from my hew bathroom ✌🏽

I cannot recommend an album more for unwinding at the end of the longest weekend ever

1236 N. Hoyne, built in 1886

Tfw there’s a sale at the keystone store

Commemorating the end of moving (I’m ignoring unpacking) the only way I know how

All packed, moving tomorrow, one last selfie in this mirror

Mmm tornado watch sundae

Now hold on–
