borges, september 2



when i took this photo, it was early september, i think around 7 p.m., when sunset was still at 8 p.m. it's downtown near michigan avenue and pearson.

a block west of this building are apartments with storefronts of restaurants and bookstores. the second floor apartments - or offices - easily fetch $1,000 from renters, but you get a great location. you pay for noise each weekend and every rush hour, but in exchange, there's a bookstore, a coffeeshop, a restaurant, loyola university, historic watertower, holy name cathedral, a victoria's secret, an H&M, and the john hancock building nearby. it's just perfect for insomniacs like me. hehehehe.

this photo reminds me of the short story "the aleph" by jorge luis borges. i have to reread it, ahaha. i like how he manages to merge memory into one long paragraph at one point in the story. and then he did it again in an attempt to describe everything. purty cool.
