Question of the Day

Suggested by Shaker laurakeet: "What is your favorite song about a place? It can be a real place, or an imaginary one."

I love with so many hearts Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah's "Lake Shore Drive," the piano in which just captures perfectly what it feels like to be driving down Chicago's Lake Shore Drive on a sunny day. For years and years, I lived at one end of North LSD and worked at the other end, and one of my favorite city drives, in any city, is from the bottom of South LSD past the museum campus and up to the northernmost part of the city. That road is just part of my heart, even with all the stinking traffic through downtown.

I mean, without the traffic, passing Randolph heading north wouldn't feel like freedom every damn time.
