Description
Imagine driving through downtown Chicago traffic. You turn off the main thoroughfare onto a side street, knowing you're almost home. This area is not wholly residential, but it's a world away from honking busses and pedestrians crossing against the light.
Apartments built nearly a hundred years ago line the street, beautifully maintained architectural gems that give off the scent of old money well spent. The details speak of quality, dependability, and quiet elegance.
At this time of day the doorman is nearby waiting to unlock the gate for you, a comforting touch in this modern age of impersonal button-pushing access.
You drive through the entrance tunnel and see the gate being closed behind you in the rear-view mirror.
It's good to be home ...

Everyone should have gates/doors like this. I have seen this many times, and it's odd that I never photographed it. I couldn't have done better than this. You captured so much of what lies around this by simply focusing on the quiet, and yes, by Chicago standards, ancient grace. Funny, in Chicago, ancient stretches back only about 100 years...but wow...when it's done like this, it's done right!

Nicely capture Tara. Looks like the solid area in the center of the doors is design to prevent picking the locks maybe?
