Welcome To My Very First PhotoBlog!

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." -Psalm 118:24


And this is where it all begins.....

This is the very first landmark that was shown to us when we first came to Chicago. This is where the "heart" of the city begins. It's the point of "origin," the zero mark, it's the 0 North, 0 South State St., and 0 East, 0 West Madison St. The convergence of zeroes in a grid, the center of all of Chicago's addresses.

Chicago streets are designed to follow grid lines. The whole city runs from East (Michigan Lake) to West, from North to South. Simple, right? From this "star" of convergence, all street numbers are based from here: 0E, 0W, 0N, 0S. So if you just follow the grid, you'll never get lost in Chicago. Believe me, I walk those streets myself, all the time!
