Anyone who has traversed the stretch of Milwaukee Avenue just north of North has probably caught a glimpse of the Bloomingdale Line's wall of murals. Alex (above) was nice enough to pose in front of one for photographer Michael Kardas a couple weeks ago. A few minutes later, Kardas tried to hitch a ride down Route 66.

See more of Kardas' photographs on the YoChicago Flickr photostream.
