A meme I found on Instagram . If you want to go somewhere find a way. It could be through a job or just your own hustle. Life's too short to just stay in one place and not see what else is out there!

A job is nothing more than a means to an end. There are many ways to make money other than finding a job. Find a way or make a way!

An instagram story I shared during the past winter. I'm thinking it's to time to share an updated shot of the statue of Bob Newhart protraying his character from his self-title classic 1970s sitcom.

This is something I posted on instagram a while ago. All very laudable and achievable goals! Don't get into things, don't bring attention to yourself, make money, watch your diet, travel, do something different, and then show up when you get ready!

Sometime in May snapped these two shots on Snapchat and posted them on Instagram. It made the news here in Chicago that some scaffolding on a building in downtown Chicago fell off and forced the closure of the intersection around Michigan/Randolph. It was scary for many however work was being down to do something about the scaffolding and soon it would be back to normal downtown. First shot I took with a wide-angle Olloclip lens The second shot was taken with a telephoto Olloclip lens you get more of a close-up of the scaffolding that was hanging off this building. If you want to know I was in the Prudential building about to head into the Randolph Street Metra station when I noticed people were pointing this scene out. And of course I noticed the news trucks also! 

This is from my Instagram story on Monday which was a very hot day. I decided being out and about to just sit in an air conditioned great hall at Union Station where I saw a line of Amtrak passengers getting ready to board their train. I really wanted to go with them which is the caption that you saw in this pic. The announced train that was boarding was my favorite train, Southwest Chief . It brings to mind how often I have hung around Union Station. Especially during the period of time that I went to community college in downtown Chicago. I often came here to people watch or eat lunch or occasionally look at the magazines at the convenience stores in the station. This place has changed so much in the ensuing 20 years. Where the passengers wait to board their trains has changes. Also where the passengers pick up their tickets - at least for those who are not computer savvy to print their own tickets at home - has changed. To board a bus to go into downtown Chicago has cha...

Another switchup. For now I'll post my favorite memes on Monday. This should be everyone's mindset honestly.Relationships should benefit you whether personal, romantic, family, etc. Hopefully it's not boiled down to materialism or money. Hopefully it's all about positivity and if it's not distraction!

Captain Janeway is the inspiration for this meme on this Friday!

Posted these collage of pics which I had shared last Wednesday and on a post over at Sixth Ward blog. Three pics - two of bank signs and one of a former grocery store now dollar store. This is to re-enact pics taken back on New Years Eve 2007 . I also shared this on ig which is the post embedded below. A post shared by The Sixth Ward (@thesixthward) on Mar 16, 2018 at 12:51pm PDT

I also plan to post these to Sixth Ward blog at some point in the future. There are some opportunities along this main thorofare on the south side between at least King Drive and State Street. In 2009 there was a infrastructure project where the city had to dig out some sewer lines. 75th was shut down and reopened to great hoopla and was declared a "Black Wall Street". Although it seems that has died down since then I see this area as a center for dining & night life. Feel free to click on the pics for a larger resolution. This pic is a professional building for sale. Earlier in the year there I posted about a listing for this building. Perhaps a place for doctors, lawyers, or business people. Granted I noted that this is a street great for dining & night life however bear in mind this is a street that has a number of retail establishments also.

Truer wordshave never been spoken. Be careful who you associate with!

An instagram story I posted last week the temperature helped to thaw most of the snow that fell the weekend before. As since it rained on Sunday night, the snow from that weekend is going to wash away. Spring is almost here!

Posted this as a story to my ig this past Sunday. An appropriate entry for what should be a regular feature on Friday's just post memes I run across on instagram.

Snapped this shot in the lobby of the Studio Movie Grill theater at 210 W. 87th Street on Chicago's south side. The theater itself has been around since 1997 and was recently acquired by Studio Movie Grill in 2014. Before 2017 at least the theater never had a kitchen nor an actual bar thanks to the fact that it's a dine-in movie theater. No longer do south side residents have to go far for the amenities that you can get here. Click here for more background .

This could be for 2018, but this could be anytime. Be prepared to let go at any time!

Wiser words have never been spoken by the late great Heath Ledger who played the greatest on-screen Joker of all time!

Bought these cast iron skillet with Hershey's brownie and cookie mix recently from a local Menard's store. Some goodness to come in the future.

One Sunday during the summer I decided to check out the scene at House of Hope . I should've went in for church services.

Snapped this shot back in April 2014 with the caption below! Finished this big old donut yesterday from this place in Chicago called Dat Donut!
