Always be aware of your surroundings downtown, you might be pleasantly surprised what you find. I came across this lovely little mosaic sidewalk "repair" and waited. Few people seemed to notice it until they saw me pointing my camera at it first. - ThreadSky

Turns out this is from French street artist, Ememem. If you look closer at the first photo, his signature is on one tile. He was in town almost a year to the day!

There’s a page (can’t remember which socials platform) dedicated to tile floors seen in Chicago!

As I was looking closer at the photo, I saw "ememem" on one tile, and it appears to be from a French artist
