#1 best discovery about Chicago: people here love Halloween. We arrived October 1st to find houses decorated-Christmas style. Here are a few examples.

We did a little decorating ourselves. Not so much us, but the building inspector.

It's better in the middle.

We have no jobs. We have no friends. But we have ample time on our hands and an ugly house. On the outside. Inside is nice, extremely cold, but lovely. Avocado walls and all. We say avocado, but that's not quite it. As Co-pilot describes, "You know when a hard-boiled egg yolk is kind of grey?" Yes, that's the color.
