These are fishing poles.  I found them in the food preparation section along with paper plates and pots and pans.  I guess it stands to reason.

This is a mural on the wall in the children’s classrooms a church.  I guess it has been so windy lately that even the trees on the wall have been snapped off.

A very good place to get a Chicago style hot dog.

I really like this painting.

Well, there it is.  I guess I can now say that I have seen it.

With onions, hot peppers, mustard, relish, pickle and tomato, this hot dog can’t get much better.

Somehow, I don’t think that this is going to be a big seller in Lowell.

The change to win a snow blower at the mall has been replaced with a chance to win a riding mower.  I guess it must be spring.

When we attended a theatrical event in Chicago, there were signs all over the place stating that there were “no guns allowed”.  In fact, we even went through an airport style weapons check.  I find this ironic since guns have been illegal in Chicago for many many years.  I guess that they were after those with illegal guns.

For some extra money, you can buy an “express pass” for the art museum.  When we visited, there was no one in line so we walked right in.  I am not even sure how much an “express pass” costs.  Some how,  I can’t imagine a long wait at the art museum.
