I took these photos during a recent stroll around East Rogers Park, on the northside of Chicago. This community possesses a wide variety of architectural styles. Some very beautiful art deco specimens can be found on or around the Rogers Park campus of Loyola University of Chicago. Not much text will be included here; I think I'll let the amazing architecture speak for itself.

I have always loved this building, partly because of the intricacy of its architectural facade and partly because of its colorfulness. I wish I could have captured the entirety of its mural on top, which seems to depict the modern city at the center and aspects of its history at each end.

This is just a beautiful building. The Starbucks here makes good use of the large outdoor patio space in the front. This building also houses a couple of restaurants and the New 400 Theaters.
