Chicago Joins More Than 50 Cities Across North America for the 2008 Walk for Farm Animals
Chicago Walk will benefit Farm Sanctuary’s rescue, education and advocacy efforts for farm animals
On Saturday, October 11, Chicago will join more than 50 cities across North America in hosting a Walk for Farm Animals to benefit Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization.
Chicago-area residents will meet at the Flat Top Grill at 319 W. North Ave. for the start of their Walk at 11 a.m. Immediately following the Walk, participants are invited to a buffet lunch at the Flat Top Grill, which is $13 per person upon early registration with the Walk coordinator. Walks occur throughout the U.S and Canada every fall – on or around October 2 – in honor of World Farm Animals Day.

SILENT SUPERNOVA SYMPHONY
Autumn? Advantage: Chicago.
A tree transmogrifies into
A silent supernova,
An explosion of
Amber,
Auburn and
Amethyst.

When Americans think of fashion, they usually associate it with cities like New York or Milan. Many don’t realize that Tokyo is not only a top fashion city, but a city with a completely unique, multi-layered style and fashion scene.
And the styles of this city are strange, beautiful and stupefying all at once. Petite women shuffling about in silk kimonos cinched with elaborate obi (belts). Men wearing pointed shoes and boots three or four sizes too big for their feet, simply to show of that they are up on the latest trends. Schoolchildren in sailor uniforms. Teenage boys baked with golden tans and bouffant rooster-like dyed hair. Ripped jeans, man purses, jingling buttons, spikes, safety pins, fanny packs and all manner of gaudy over-the-top foolishness.
