Hey the local semi-pro soccer club I co-founded with my best friends in Edgewater (Chicago) just won a Women's National Championship on Sunday so I'm just here to brag about that for a sec 🌊🏰🏆✌️

It's a beautiful sunset tonight, but you can see some of that Canadian forest fire smoke making it hazy.

Marquee free-for-all in #WestRidge and #RogersPark, on residences built 1921-1928.
Nicely contrasting apartment bldgs w/ retail space at California & Lunt, #WestRidge. Permitted in 1928 and ‘29 but not finished until ‘31. Derisive slow clap for unregulated capitalism and the Crash of ‘29. 👏 👏 👏 (🧵1/4)
Mission-shaped parapets forward! 2544 W. Morse (built 1925) and 2532 W. Coyle (built 1927). #WestRidge
Many Presto bldgs in #WestRidge, incl. nice variety of Tudors. In addition to Farwell home, this austere SFH at 6618 N. Washtenaw (1931) and a corner/courtyard at Pratt and Artesian (1930), complete with stone column & chimney pots. (4/8)
Shields emblazoned with lions above mostly vacant storefronts at the corner of Western and Lunt, #WestRidge. The building, ca. 1930, has seen busier days, including “drapery drama” and signage strife. [1/7]
Happy #TurretTuesday! A wee, spooky one at the corner of Rockwell and Ardmore, #WestRidge.
