Last weekend I saw an independent film about Urban Exploring. It documented adventures of people in Iowa, Chicago, Detroit and even Paris exploring abandoned steam tunnels, insane asylums and even the catacombs under the city of Paris.

I’ve done some urban exploring of my own. This weekend I ventured over to the end of Armitage. This is a location where high-rises dominate the scene and the Armitage CTA bus route stops. We can only assume that a Armitage bus explodes at the end of the route.  Clearly, there must be a bus factory somewhere East of Clark.

Below are some pictures from the end of Armitage Ave.

No power on my street in Lincoln Park still. I fled to Wicker Park last night so I could power my BlackBerry and answer some emails.

I was traveling northbound on Milwaukee during rush hour in my car and I got stuck in the intersection of Milwaukee and Evergreen while trying to get past North Ave. Traffic was barely moving since all the hipsters were mulling about at the Triangle (Milwaukee-Damen-North) causing only a few cars to get though a green light.

After I got caught in the intersection, I started a left turn onto Evergreen to get out of the intersection. As I started to accelerate in first gear, a barrage of hipsters on rusty bikes came at me from the left. One dirty blonde, smelly T-shirt wearing girl was cut off as I completed my turn and gave me the finger. “Get out of the way! Get a job!” I politely yelled out the window as I sped down Evergreen and past Wicker Park.

Note to all Chads: watch out for incoming fleets of rusty bikes when travelling in Wicker Park. They seem to travel in packs of three to five and carry groceries from organic places or acoustic guitars that their fathers once owned. These items may damage your Jeep or BMW so use caution when traveling near Hipster Triangle.
