What Chicago postcards should really say

CHI Postcards

Postcards: they aim to be sunny and utopian, but they're ultimately the type of candy-coated BS that doesn't accurately capture day-to-day life in a city. That's why -- inspired by The Bold Italic's original takedown of SF (“Palace of Fine Farts”, indeed!) -- we came up with these 15 original Chicago postcards that cut away the crap, and say what we're all really thinking.
