Today, Holy Name cathedral is probably the best know religious facility in the Chicago.  In addition to regular services, it is the ceremonial site for the Chicago's Catholic community.  Major weddings and funerals are held here.  One of the more notable recent funerals was for Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert.  I was told by one wedding photographer that the fee for a wedding is $1,000, which does not strike me as a large sum given the extravegent spending that often accompanies the union of two people.

Ah, but aren't these the same people I see driving Land Rovers around town.  Must be, take a look at the boats that have docked.  All it takes is three boats to block everyone's view.  Baby, you're a rich man.

1550 North State Parkway is about as classic and high-end as Chicago residential architecture goes.  Bordering the southend of Lincoln Park, the building glows in the afternoon sunlight.
