A bar with to-go liquor called Rite Liquors in Wicker Park is the right idea for a long night to forget.

Uncondoned sign alterations
I don’t think anyone should deface signs, but if you didn’t see these subtle alterations to the “Falling Ice” signs outside the Harold Washington Library, here’s your chance.
Dibs!

When you spend an hour unburying your car from the Snowmageddon, you want to make sure your spot is there. So you do dibs on your space. It’s an unspoken law in Chicago and it’s a subject of some controversy. Here are some I found today. I will call them dibs props.
Keeping warm, carrying on in Wicker Park

I have been seeing adaptations of the “Keep calm and carry on” posters all over the city. According to Wikipedia, these were never produced. Instead their resurgence has been as recent as 10 years ago.
It seems a fitting mantra for me as a Buddhist and for everyone these increasingly unpredictable times. I admire its message but also the timelessness of the design and the typography. A quick search on the Interwebs reveals that P22′s Underground Pro is the closest font. Gorgeous.
