More than 40 local Latinos make up the Universal Dancers. High energy, athletic, gymnastic, smiling and fun to watch. A crowd favorite at the 2013 Mexican Independence Day Parade, these young people have bigger and more lucrative venues on their minds.

Sunset looking West from atop the John Hancock Chicago.
Time lapsed video of sunset. Recommend this video highly. Please steal it, but make sure you give me a credit.
Lucky to live here.
Warning: This video contains a violent story which may or may not be true. This is my neighborhood. Downtown, Lake Michigan and a walking commute to work. Who could want more. Problem is, I’m in the poorhouse due to rent.

Head turner and I’m not a car guy.
I could be mistaken, but I believe this is a 550 Porche Spyder, the same kind of car James Dean was driving when he died in the auto accident. A car like this one fetched $3.7 million at auction.
The best water park ever, certainly the prettiest
Crown Fountain in Millenneum Park is a Chicago landmark and a place of sheer joy for kids of all ages. In addition to a great waterpark, Crown Fountain is a magical piece of art with the stunning background of the Chicago skyline.
Empty on the “El”
With over 21O million riders per year, the “El” needs a rest every now and again.
Nice building, the kind you don’t notice until you do
The John Hancock Building, Chicago
The best fireworks in the country? I say it’s Winnetka, Illinois.
4th of July Fireworks from ralph braseth on Vimeo.
I’m not sure if they are the best in the country, but Winnetka certainly has the best firework display I’ve ever seen. Really wonderful viewing area filled with families. No drunks. Lots of kids. Lots of smiling. What a great experience. Experience courtesy of Herb Ritchell, a colleague and friend from Loyola School of Communication.
