Public Art Chicago is the first app of its kind to navigate the city's vast collection of public art, estimated to be over 4,000 pieces. Whether you live in Chicago or not, this app makes the perfect visitor's guide you never knew you needed. Chicago's public art collection includes works owned by the City of Chicago's Park District, Transit Authority (CTA), universities, corporations, condominiums and neighborhood communities, including “street” murals, mosaics, and decorated facades.



The app acts as a tour guide and cultural docent, leading its users via GPS to specific public art sculptures and murals. Public Art Chicago allows users to follow the paths of pre-set tours, each lasting about an hour in time and covering approximately two miles. It's easy to use, simply install the app, approach a public art piece and the app will tell you all there is to know!



Key to the city's diverse art collection is the South Loop's Wabash Arts Corridor, known as Chicago’s “living urban canvas." The corridor's latest installments include the works of international and local artists at the top of their fields; like Shepard Fairey (OBEY series, Obama HOPE), Cleon Peterson, POSE, RETNA, Hebru Brantley, Ben Eine, Darryll Schiff, Heidi Unkefer, Jacob Watts and Never 2501. As a collective, these large scale art works create one of the city’s major cultural assets. The guided tour will take you on a informative art walk, offering exclusive information on these massive works!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
