We arrived very early for the International Symphony Concert and I had some time before the start. It was a beautiful night, so, I took a little walk in the neighborhood around the Imperial Theater and these detail my stroll.

Box Office
Nobody to sell tickets yet. I probably won't need one for the walk anyway.
Left
Walking out the back of the Imperial Theater, something told me I should turn to my left.
Bud
Back door of the Head Shop in the alley.
Nine Line
Waiting for the #9 bus on Christina Street. I'm still wondering about all of these blue doors...
Street Lamp
Not much to say about this except I really liked the streetlamp up against the blue sky.
Ideal
In the bridal shop window, this must be someone's ideal. She's looking for something, but I'm not sure what.
Across the Street
When I followed her gaze, I finally figured out what grabbed her attention. It's a different world across the street.
Locked
I was trying to figure out if this was just left by someone and forgotten. Turns out it's some sort of advertisment for an antique shop through the alley.
First Ride
Saw this beauty outside one of the watering holes along Christina Street. As I came up with the camera, I heard a shout from the bar "How many beers will you buy me to allow you to take a picture?" Turns out this was the first ride of the year for this hog. And, it ended up not costing me anything ;-)
Looking Back
Growing up in Chicago, going to another country was a big deal. Here, we do it all the time. I'm still not used to it.
