Ambiguous urbanite

This is a blog about cities and how we live in them.

Hi, I'm EJ. I was born and raised in Vancouver. After a year in the great city of London, I am now finishing my university studies in Philadelphia.

Chicago from above

I visited Chicago for the first time last summer. I had passed through O’Hare many times before, but never had the chance to make it into town, to escape the airport sprawl that looks exactly the same no matter what city you’re in. I had never even seen the towers of downtown, though I had looked for them always. I was only in Chicago for a day and half this past August, but the city made an indelible impression on me.

When I flew through Chicago again in January, I finally got what I had been looking for - an aerial view of what is arguably the greatest skyline in America, possibly the world.
