Remember how last week in this space your PopCulteer told you that he was going back to Chicago “soon?”  The truth is, by the time you saw that post I was already there.  A week-long trip to the Windy City took place to commemorate the birthday of Mrs. PopCulteer by running around town on the “L” and taking in the world premiere of the new Tracy Letts play, “The Minutes” before it heads to Broadway.

While in Chicago, we hit up one of our favorite haunts, Lincoln Square, where I took a photo of the giant Christmas Tree at Giddings Plaza. Above you see it all done up in digital pointallism, almost like it’s ready to be slapped on a Christmas card. You spend a morning staring at Seurat, you’re gonna want to pointallize a bit. I thought it looked cool, anyway. Click the image to see it larger.

Meanwhile, we are in the final days of our annual holiday tradition here in PopCult, so later today the 2017 PopCult Gift Guide continues with three more cool gift ideas. Be sure to check out all our unique gift suggestions. It’s going to wrap up Thursday, with an epic, Bible-length master list of all our gift ideas, complete with links, posted in Friday’s PopCulteer. Tuesday we devote the whole day to local music.
