In the slideshow below, follow Marv and me as we walked from the greening (dyeing) of the Chicago River, past a lone bird’s nest in barren branches, past the hopeful sign of new construction, through Mariano’s grocery, to a final shot from our terrace of the start of the parade.
Come on over. The door is open, and Marv has corned beef cooking. Plus the weather is grand – 74 degrees and sunny on March 17 in Chicago.
