Chicago is famous for its neighborhoods, and this reflection was photographed during the annual art fair held in ours last weekend. The event was definitely a “riotous mixture” of arts and crafts, food ranging from pizza through Ethiopian stew, and dancing in the streets to three (loud!) sound stages performing different styles of music all at once.
