After attending an R&B concert with Dru Hill, Chico Debarge, Silk, Tevin Campbell and the iconic Brian McKnight at the Wintrust Arena we spent the weekend at 21c Museum Hotel. 21c Museum Hotel is a very nice hotel which has a full art museum inside; and the current exhibit there did not disappoint.
One of the features that we saw while at the museum was this breathtaking exhibit. Wile at first glance it appears to just be a show of framed feathers; upon closer inspection you see that the face of the feathers are actually prints of people jumping and falling from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2011. I actually missed that detail at first until Meeks pointed it out to me and thus turning what I thought was a fairly mundane exhibition into a very chilling experience.

Looking Into Canada from the Blue Water River Walk
Well, we really wanted to go to Canada together, but COVID-19 travel restrictions prevented that. So, we did the next best thing and went all the way to the US/Canadian border and looked over Lake St. Claire into our neighbors to the North. Actually, in this case considering where we were, Canad...[continue]
