Not clear why this is hitting HN today, but these are popular enough in Chicago to be kind of a cliche. No matter how convincing the poster is, I think you'll be disappointed if you plan a trip to visit scenic Galewood.

This was bait enough that I jumped into Google Maps to look at a few random Galewood streets via street view. Obviously very suburban, but looks like it'd make for a nice stroll until you tired of the cookie-cutter layout. Hugh Hefner's childhood home as a bonus.

I live across the street from it. It's fine! It's just one of the most boring neighborhoods in Chicago. Walking distance to Johnnie's Beef, though, which is the best beef spot in the city.

The style is not novel either.
tptacek•44m ago
Of Galewood itself? Yeah, no, though it's across the street from one of the most famous architectural areas in Chicagoland. But the posters? They're deliberately an homage to WPA style.

Thanks! Just bought 4!

Which four? (We have Beverly, where I grew up, and Garfield Park, just because it's cool looking.)

For some less serious Chicago bulletins, there was SquirrelTruth[0]. A kickstarter was created to post signs in the CTA about the danger of squirrels. I am not sure how many variations there were, but the only one I ever saw was, "Statistically speaking, at least one 'person' on this train is actually 7 squirrels wearing a human suit. Don't be a victim."

Moving from SF to Chicago this week. This made me feel a little more excited. TY for the share!

Congratulations! I did Chicago (born and raised) -> SF -> Chicago -> SF -> Chicago (detouring through Ann Arbor).

Where in Chicago are you moving? It's really an amazing city.

I love this.

what is sad, is that you an take the article, go to any LLM, ask to read and build an system prompt, from the images + text, and then you can replicate his work

If only the Loop one were centered on Madison instead of Monroe so it would have my condo in it...

This reminds me of another artist that did an isometric map of the city. I bought one and it hangs on my office wall. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1673296980/map-of-chicago-loop-...

Always fun to have someone over who knows the city. We'll spend 20 minutes pointing to all the buildings we've worked in, places we've eaten, or where The Bear or The Fugitive were filmed.
