Ms. Janice, Jake and Smokie

Ms. Janice sits on the corner of Chicago and Michigan Avenues. Jake (the top cat) is an incredibly friendly and docile cat. Smokie, below, is an 18-month old beast. Jake loved his head scratched. When I tried to pet Smokie, I was met with a blood-drawing scratch and a hard bite. Ms. Janice says it’s a daily crap shoot with Smokie’s demeanor.

Caldwell was a teacher, poet, landscaper and architect. ** Developed in the late 19th and early 20th century, this regional approach to landscape design celebrated the open character, horizontal expanse, and native vegetation of the Midwest. Landscape spaces were organized as a sequence of outdoor rooms and views, emphasizing the interaction of sky and landscape…..The Cultural Landscape Foundation.
