A quick note. There are these little oasis kinda blocks in Chicago. They either butt up to a dead end street or in this case the block ends and it's just factories and empty lots. This one was like that. No one around unless you lived there. Then toss in a bunch free spirited people and it becomes a one block neighborhood within another neighborhood. Sharing, visiting, cooking and whatever. It was nice. This one image doesn't tell the story but I do have more. Lots more.
