Start each day with a grateful heart...
Yesterday started out foggy and it never cleared up.
It was a gloomy and wet day, but it did not top Arvid
It was a gloomy and wet day, but it did not top Arvid
from going to the last day of the blues festival. I chose to
not go. I still don't feel 100% and did not wish to get worse.
Instead I went to Macy’s. Macy’s in Chicago is huge.
It is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and listed
on the National Register of Historic Places, Macy's
State Street is a Macy's flagship destination.
Towering granite columns front the 9-story structure,
flanking its gracious main entrance, and two massive
Great Clocks punctuate the corners of the store
on Randolph and Washington Streets.
Visitors to Macy’s often meet at the Great Clocks,
located at the corners of the building. The first clock was
installed in 1897, at the corner of State and Washington.
The Chicago Tribune went on to report that Chicago
women in Chicago were telling others to “meet
me under the clock at Marshall Field’s!”

Another captivating architectural element in the
store is the Burnham Fountain, also known as the
“Lost Fountain.” It’s made of 6 tons of cast
iron and holds 700 gallons of water.
This morning the fog has cleared up. It promises to be
a good day and it's the start of another great week here in the
Windy City. Life is good and we make the best of it always.
Hello new week. Bring it on.
Mondays are good for new
beginnings and fresh starts...
