Among the Georgians in this corner of West Ridge, it's a nice change to see 3122 and 3120 W. Jerome, designed by K. Roderick O'Neal (1908-1989). A 🧵on this diehard modernist and early Black architect.

Hi. We're back. I'll be seeking pitches. I want to read your stories and essays about cities and places in the wintertime; I want to know about change—good, bad, temporary, or forever—that speaks to broader climate, community, ecological transformations. withstanding.substack.com

Movie theaters of Rogers Park and West Ridge. I can't remember why I did this poster in 2012, but it will need some updating if the New 400 (#4) disappears...Many of the photos are from the @RPWRHS collection. Building footprints are adapted from Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps.
Some new work that you can now buy in the @msichicago gift shop. Not exactly sure what kinds of items it is on, but if you're there soon, please take a pic and share it with me!
There are several landmark quality buildings on this campus. And enough space to do some very creative planning.
