Location: Washington and Dearborn. Across the street from the Chriskindlmarket (aka Daley Plaza).
Time: At the tail end of morning rush hour. The last of the late risers trotting to work.
Seen: A black woman around 65 years old perched, cross-leged, on a planter (one of those anti-terrorist tall planters). She was dressed in all shades of blue, mostly royal blue. Even her bouffant hair was spray-painted "blue". Outfitted in a smart dress suit and accessorized to the nines in cheap gold earings and big blue necklaces, she waved at passerbys with one hand. In the other, she gingerly held a martini glass filled with what looked like Irish coffee with a mound of whipped cream. It might have been fake, since there was not one swash with all of her waving. I think she was softly singing to me as I turned to wave.
Regret: No camera!! Maybe she'll be there tomorrow.
