Maxwell Street

The little Japanese shop is on Halsted, which is right by Maxwell St.

So we had a good time walking up and down the street and hanging out with the bronze statues! The kids loved that part, and I loved reading all the stuff about Maxwell Street.
Really bad picture of Kira, great one of the sign. *Shrug* I wasn't trying to get her in the pic but she insisted on posing there, so meh.

A view down the street.

Isn't that brick street gorgeous!? I love it, adds such character!

A lady with her groceries:

Evan said she looked thirsty.

So Kira had to share with this guy:

These boxes had relief art all around the entire statue and the pictures were of the same people as the bronze statues. We sat next to a musician with his little cigar box for money, but for some reason it is gone, I must have accidentally erased it. :( The kids loved finding the people in the art that they had "met" on the street.

Here is the history of the area from a sign. :) I loved this shortened version of how it used to be.
