Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements at Eckhart Park in Chicago — 9/17

Carnival gaming at it’s finest, water guns aiming at little trolls to win equally kitschy prizes, mostly plush dolls and other figurines. Kids of all ages love it!

ping-pong ball toss for goldfish

a small circus / carnival set up at Eckhart Park in Chicago during the weekend of 9/17/2011 and this family watched as their beloved attempted an all or nothing shot at winning a gold fish by tossing the ping-pong ball into a fairly closed mouth jar!

It was a beautiful early fall day with sunshine and family entertainment including live bands, food and art vendors, and a live circus performance. The streets of Chicago give life to pedestrian traffic and fun during most of the summer and early fall months!

Remembering Pa and his City of Choice

Window seat image en route to land at O’hare International Airport (heading west in the photo). Chicago’s world-class skyline is even as impressive when looking from above and at an angle, instead of even with the horizon when on terra firma.
