we started at JFK and flew jetblue...greatest airline ever!
granny playin shy for the cameras
my granny swears by her old style beer. she's a riot when she backs a 6 pack
i love old people!
enough drinking! back on the road exploring the city
downtown was lovely
where did everyone go? as soon as you head south things start to look shady.
so many abandoned buildings and empty lots. but why? google here we go.
found what i was looking for...thrift store!
omg! if i had my own place and had i driven to chicago with a van this would so be mine! mint condition throw back gas stove
every black woman's haven
my dry hair needs some help! i was gonna buy this "natural remedy"...
...until i read the ingredients
missing my little jackie girl back home. saw this cute little hat and had to buy it. and yes! Jackie is part cat :)
we ventured out to wicker park and downtown but with freezing temperatures that camera stayed in my bag. my time in chicago was all about spending time with granny. lucky for me i had my laptop and recorded some of her wonderful stories.
warp speeding our way to the airport
on time!
i'll be back sooner than later!
the only items bought in chi-town was a cat hat and cat bed for miss jackie. i'm so lame! i guess not spending is good :)
now that i'm back in new york you best believe i'm back on track to start another new chapter in my life. CAREER! yay!

What a great trip (with great photos!). Thanks for sharing.
What a blessing to be able to spend QT with your granny!! Never been to Chicago but I heard it's great :)
And as for that PROPANE?? Wowzas!! haha
What a perfect time to spend time with a woman who has seen it all! I am sure it was wonderful and inspiring. Your are a person who sees adventure in everything!!
You were in the Chi!! AWESOME!!! Yeah, South Side Chicago is pretty empty since all of the violence going on down there. Oh, and I loooooove Wicker Park. They have some cool boutiques and thrift shops there.
Those pics of Chicago remind me of Detroit (I'm originally from Michigan)- that's where my great granny lives! :)
yo she looks like you! lol
