Chi-Town is the BEST town!

What a fuckin shit hole.
Off Topic

That "Chicago Code" is a great show!

BigDingo

The real question is, how did he get some many pictures of Chicago before someone stole his camera?

Dim k

there are plenty of people walking around chicago with very nice cameras all the time. don't judge before you know. stuff gets stolen around here less than you think.

If you notice, he was in and around the loop…nice play to walk around and gawk. Didn't see him traipsing southside.

Ryan

Yea I would think one could get much better photos around Chicago.

Jak

Fuck Chicago

dave32891

wow just kick the Cubs fans while they're down

BigDingo

Also you'd think he'd want to feature parts of Chicago found outside the 'gray' and 'brown' parts of the color wheel. #10 for example…

JoJo

#10 is a banksy it needs to be included.

AnyoneForCoffee

Doubtful it was Banksy. His efforts include a political statement.

I'll offer the Mayor a thousand dollars to look the other way. Alright then, one hundred. Deal!

Long Island Fred

NY pizza FTW

Brother Maynard

If you're a 5 year old girl.

I'm sure there are plenty on non-5 year old girls in the 8.4 million residents of NYC that would agree with LIF on this, but nice try.

jsf2217

obviously a dirty new yorker speaking

Grifo

Dude has talent. Great Pix
DItka89

Documented evidence that it really is a shithole.

broadactyl

anyone that says chicago is a shithole is an idiot. all the crime happens in two neighborhoods. greatest city in the world….and ive been to most of them

Bunker Punk

You've been to most of the cities in the world? Fuck you, you're lying. But Chi-Town kicks ass, and no, I'm not from there.

schwang

well…that was nothing special.
Fisheyes

Chive, what next? Detroit?
whocares

Totally amazing!!!! A bunch of bad pics of a bunch of old buildings. Yayyy I can die happy now!!

Nice shots of downtown. #11, a good Banksy…not sure if it's still there or not.

I've never been to Chi-Town so I can't say, but the pictures did not inspire me to plan a trip anytime soon.
PoPimp85

Not the greatest pictures in my opinion, but still the greatest city in world nonetheless.

Drake

You have got to be shitting me! Chicago is in no way, shape or form a better city than NY.

Drake

BTW…this is coming from someone who lives on the west coast and has been to both cities more than once.

JoJo

NY sucks its full loud mouth douche bags who think their tough and the streets are filled with trash.

Lol
Jeremy

I'd mark that up as dreary. How about a South Pacific post to knock off the bleakness?

Is that a real Banksy?
Cody

Hey, you should photoshop the shit out of these some more.
Roscoe

I work in Chicago. When ice forms in the river, you know it's freaking cold!!! #15
beano

Love Chicago, love photography, but these weren't doin' it for me. Not one pic of Wrigley, Navy Pier, Sears Tower, St Patty's day green Chicago river, Millenium Park, The Bean, etc etc. I mean I know all cities have alleys and garbage cans…..

Ratail

I think he was going for a depressing mood with these pics.
James

No, New York doesn't have alleys. They throw their garbage on the sidewalk, but Chicago is the shithole?
SmokeyJane

I'm SUPER glad there isn't one picture of the Bean or the green River or any other thing that EVERYONE that visits Chicago takes a picture of!! I used to live there and I miss it like crazy so it's nice to see pictures or the REAL Chicago, even if these are all downtown:)
opiateofthemasses073

…not one picture of #10 exists in this list, depicting the Sears Tower… What a shame.

armyabn

I felt like I needed to check if my wallet had been lifted while viewing these pics. I'll stay away, thanks.
Seannerz

Sigh, my home sweet home! These photos make me feel like I'm still right there.
