The Best Fall Ever For many of us in Chicago, this is the best fall we've experienced in a long, long time. To see flowers still in bloom, with some still vibrant and healthy, this late in October is an unusual sight. But a welcome one, indeed. Below are some recent shots around the South Loop showing off the neighborhood and the city.

Matt Damon and Contagion Hit the South Loop Film crews were out in force by the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium today. They were filming scenes from the new Matt Damon movie Contagion. According to a crew member we spoke with, they will be filming at the Palmer House Hilton hotel tomorrow. If you have the time, it might be fun to check it out. Be sure to bring your camera. If you get a shot of Damon, please send it our way and we'll post it here.
Filming the Film Crew Like we did when the Ride-Along crew was here recently, we took a walk around video of the movie crew along Solidarity Dr. Speaking of Ride-Along, they're currently filming at Chicago Studio City. Chicago Studio City is one of the largest filming facilities in the U.S. To find a bigger one, you'll have to go east (New York City) or west (Hollywood).
