Here's one from my graduation ceremony this past spring from the University of Vermont. Sitting for 4 hours waiting for my name to be called allowed time for a quick pinhole shot. I do miss Vermont already, and my people there. Friends and my family, and everything I know are in Vermont. But I have been ready to leave for so long. Thank God I made it out of there! It is a place where crunchy people, green mountains, beautiful sunsets, straight chillin', maple syrup, apple cider and cheese loving, art loving hippie freaks all join together into a black hole of goodness that makes Vermont such a hard place to leave. I need a change of pace, and I am sick of seeing the same people around who just can't seem to leave. I will miss local brews and free samples at City Market and the Cabot Annex, and being able to walk anywhere I want to go. But I'm ready for the city, where every opportunity is at my fingertips.
I think sharing photos & captioning them is a great way to format a blog for sure. I especially like the strong horizontal in this one.
ReplyDeleteVermont is delightful, but at lease as far as beer is concerned, we've got you covered.
ReplyDeleteLocal Brewers not to miss:
Metropolitan - 5121 North Ravenswood Avenue
Half Acre - 4257 North Lincoln Avenue
Piece (great pizza too) - 1927 W. North Ave.
Also a lot of good quasi-local beer from Indiana (Three Floyds), Wisconsin (New Glarus) and Michigan (Bells).
great photograph. i love the idea of graduation as extended timeframe for pin-hole shot. :)
ReplyDeletesecond alex's recommendations of beer (especially piece) and do check out the farmer's markets in chicago. they're winding down for the fall, but are lots of fun and filled with lots of great goodies.
Bells Oberon is one of my very favorite summer beers.
ReplyDeleteAnd super yes to the farmers' markets around town. There's one in Lincoln Park that even runs through the winter and I strongly suspect you'll be able to find some fresh apple cider there :)
thanks guys!
