Description
This is the Argyle station on the Howard/Red Line train. Argyle Street is the heart of a small Vietnamese enclave in the Edgewater area of Chicago unofficially known as "Little Saigon." I liked the red here and figured my gallery could use a little color.

For those of us who know nothing about Chicago other than yours and Chips... It's a cool shot of red.

Interesting what you captured here! Thanks for the info, Corey :)

Red's always a good color to have. I might be just a little prejudiced, since it IS my favorite color! I drove thru the "little Saigon" of Orange Country just yesterday. It's north east of here and truly a different world.

What a cool picture: mostly because I know this particular view and have never thought to photograph it! Funny how that works: something is so much a part of your world (or at least a part of the world you commute through on the way to work, the bookstore, or simply "somewhere else." You never think to actually look at it (probably because you're on the el, reading a book, or trying not to hear Levitra telling Chevette about her third or fourth baby-daddy, while another guy ambles through the train car selling "loose squares" and assorted socks, ID wallets, or bootleg DVDs of the latest [not yet released on DVD] movies.) Anyway, in such situations, you never really get to see something as average as a sign, and so you miss the colors, especially if they're neighborhood-significant colors with dingy city-crud around the corners in a way that recalls the brave new world of Chicago's past. Oh yeah, and when all else fails, go red (or purple, or chartreuse-and-mauve-with-gold-highlights,) that never fails. I like this, and I see by the reflection, that you were headed south. This is a great shot.

Great reflection shot! I see you ... or your camera and various parts of you, at least. I wonder about argyle, and whether that pattern is displayed anywhere in the neighborhood. It seems odd that a Scottish pattern name is the basis for a public transportation stop in Chicago. I wonder about a lot of things. Maybe I should just shut up and wonder silently. (SUCH a fascinating question, though!)

Oooo, like the reflections. Had to stare at this for a bit to ensure I knew what I was seeing. Anything that makes an observer stop and stare...usually makes for a good picture. And this is one for sure:)
