what is sad, is that you an take the article, go to any LLM, ask to read and build an system prompt, from the images + text, and then you can replicate his work
Yeah, that would be a real scummy thing to do!

Which four? (We have Beverly, where I grew up, and Garfield Park, just because it's cool looking.)
Lincoln Park, Lincoln Square (called those 2 neighborhoods home) then Summer and Caldwell Lily Pond. I spent many a summer evening under the promenade in front of the Frank Gehry Bandshell; And the Lily Pond...those posters are stunning. Really evoked a sense of place and love for the city.
Good picks. If you didn't already know, Ryan Duggan did a print series of iconic neighborhood pizza places. I've had Fox's in Beverly on my wall twice and both times I ended up having to give the print away to someone who was one-shot by it when they came to my house.

#23This reminds me of another artist that did an isometric map of the city. I bought one and it hangs on my office wall. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1673296980/map-of-chicago-loop-... Always fun to have someone over who knows the city. We'll spend 20 minutes pointing to all the buildings we've worked in, places we've eaten, or where The Bear or The Fugitive were filmed.
Very nice! In Tokyo we had this mural some parts were animated using screens in the wall.

#24Not clear why this is hitting HN today, but these are popular enough in Chicago to be kind of a cliche. No matter how convincing the poster is, I think you'll be disappointed if you plan a trip to visit scenic Galewood.
It’s a total cliché rite of passage to buy one of these when you move to Chicago.
And I am typing that as I look at the Edgewater poster hanging right there over my desk.

The style is not novel either.
Of Galewood itself? Yeah, no, though it's across the street from one of the most famous architectural areas in Chicagoland. But the posters? They're deliberately an homage to WPA style.
South Shore Line ones, too…which may have also been WPA style. I should look that up…

Don’t forget Backdraft.

#27Moving from SF to Chicago this week. This made me feel a little more excited. TY for the share!
Good luck. The Malört is as bad as advertised.

With both Fox’s and Milano’s, I don’t know how anyone in Beverly/Morgan Park/EP doesn’t have pizza at least twice a week.

Yes, and it’d look like total crap. People eating NY slices, wearing Dolphins jerseys under palm trees in front of mountains.
