Did you know there s one place that is actually the best spot for selfies in Illinois?
According to their list of
Amazing Places to Take a Selfie in All 50 States, they say the supreme selfie spot is in Chicago at Cloud Gate.
Colloquially known as the Bean, the sculpture in Millennium Park is a quintessential selfie location. With its giant, curved, mirrored surface, Cloud Gate reflects and distorts the figures in front of it.
If you re looking for proof, just search #thebean on Instagram to see that Cheapism isn t wrong. There s a ton of selfies in front of The Bean taken and uploaded even now, in the dead of winter, and in the middle of a pandemic.
IDNR Puts Rockford Venue On National Register of Historic Places
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has put a Rockford venue on the National Register of Historic Places.
The longer I live in Rockford, the more I learn about the history of the city. I really enjoy finding out new information about our community. Of course, we have well know places like Anderson Japanese Gardens and the Discovery Center. There are also many places that fly under the radar.
Have you ever heard of the Rockford s Women s Club? If not, you ve probably driven by it many times. It s located near the Coronado Performing Arts Center at Church Street and Park Avenue. Like a lot of buildings in downtown Rockford, it has remarkable architecture so it fits right in with everything else. You probably wouldn t even notice it unless you were specifically looking for it.
