The Chicago Theatre

Chicago Theatre

We drove past the big illuminated Chicago Theatre on our first evening in the city, and I knew straight away I had to head back there and shoot with the lights twinkling. I’m a sucker for big neons, there is something so retro about it, and it’s not often you see a display this impressive in a city (yeah okay Vegas, you don’t count)

Carrie Santana da Silva

The tourism boom is evident, and I’m not at all sure that’s a good thing. Of course, I’ve been sharing it here with you for so long in the hopes that you’ll go and see how wonderful it is for yourselves (please do!) but I’m concerned that this fast-paced change isn’t sustainable for the city and it’s residents.
