The Broad Museum~~

Yesterday I didn’t have time to post more about the The Broad (/broʊd/ US dict: brōd), a new contemporary art museum in Downtown, Los Angeles. The museum is named after philanthropist Eli Broad, who financed the $140 million building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, to house part of his contemporary art collection.

Chicago’s Posh Neighborhood ~~

Astor Street District is a Chicago Landmark, with 19th-century houses designed in a variety of historical revival styles, interspersed with apartment buildings and townhouses. The houses are primarily Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque and the Georgian Revival styles. We walked around it this afternoon, before the rain came to put a damper on the perfect weather we’d gotten so far here in Chicago.
