Chicago 2009

The Midwest is far too polite to ever secede from the greater-United States, but if it asked nicely and became its own nation (after Canada even more politely (but wisely) rejected it): Chicago would have to be the capital, right?

A Field Guide to Street Tiles and Other Literal Street Art of the Queen City

What follows is a timeline and record of my personal intersection with the topic of “street tiles.” Given the complex nature of these things—and all the documentation I’ve undertaken—I felt it was time to truly organize this information and I elected to do it in a manner similar to the internet I grew up reading.

5. The Medium is the Message

“It was bad enough that my alleyway already looked like the one where Bruce Wayne’s parents were killed, but now it’d also taken on the villainous vibes of Mr. Freeze’s lair—the one seen in the 1997 blockbuster known as Batman & Robin and home to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pun-flinging version of the character.”

Downtown Cincinnati’s “Dead Mall-Esque Backstreets”

“No matter how it was intended, what does exist at this moment is a spot for workers to grab a smoke break and argue loudly into the phone—a secluded place where tourists crash rented scooters and drunken sports fans improvise restrooms. A fitting locale for both senior portraits and stashing a construction dumpster.”

[Suburbia Lost] Two Wendy’s and a White Castle

The Suburbia Lost series began naturally shifting to the back burner after, well, I moved out of the suburbs and back to the city several years ago. Combined with evolving interests and an overall shift away from urban exploration—it just hasn’t been a personal priority. Still, I do like to add to it when I come across something interesting.
