Welcome to Albany Park

I've also included the expressway that runs along the technology company my husband works for. This underpass is the exit you would take to get to his company.



Thought I'd share some photos from my neighborhood. I usually love living by the north branch of the Chicago River. This weekend is not one of those times. I am very lucky our building is on higher ground but the flooding has been so bad they have evacuated several blocks in my neighborhood. We exceeded rain fall, making records. We haven't seen this much rain since 1987, 21 years ago! We have a big leak in the ceiling of my son's room and the rain won't stop till tomorrow.



This is Foster Avenue! It was closed down yesterday! Foster is one of the busiest streets on the northside.



Keep your fingers crossed we won't have to evacuate!








I know I've always said I love the rain, but this is going a little overboard.

Adam and I were coming back from helping his mother with her basement and we noticed that the Edens was closed. That explains it.

Those are great photos for writing assignments you do know that don't you?
