Every time I see a photo of someone swimming in the flood waters I clutch at my face. People really do be out here trying to catch all manner of diseases.
DC is beautiful but also in some ways feels kind of fake. Like there's not quite enough grit on it. I guess that's how the "corporate shine and polish" reads to my brain. Chicago has its glitzy areas (River North and the Loop in particular) but they still look pretty worn down if you get close enough, and that makes them feel more real to me.
