Glimpse of Solace: Open House Chicago 2015

10/20/2015 By Ellen Beals

Those of you who read my posts will know that Open House Chicago is one of my fav weekends in the fall. This year was no exception. We started Sunday with doughnuts from Glazed and Infused and then visited McCormick Place, Bronzeville, Back of the Yards, and Pilsen.  Here are my pics.
