Tetragrammaton and falafel

Found amidst the graffiti in the restroom at Sultan's Market in Wicker Park.

Walking to work

 When weather permits, I like to walk rather than take public transportation.  Here are some things I found while walking down North Avenue the other day.

"Mage" tag

 Catalog card for John Zorn's Arcana IV.  This book came out in 2009, so honestly I'm not sure why there would be a catalog card for it.

Another seal of Amon.  Is this someone's tag?  It was found down the block from the place where I found the last one.

Squaring the circle with local fundraisers

I noticed this neon sign while going for a walk the other day on Wabansia.  Besides the Philosopher's Stone, they also had two signs advertising "Free Hugs."  

A bit of research reveals that this is the headquarters of Give Forward.  I hadn't even realized they were located in Chicago.  On a personal note, I'm glad that Give Forward exists, as it provides a way for those in need to raise money. 

On top of this, they are apparently Alchemists.  And generous huggers.

Edit: Give Forward informs us that the sign is actually courtesy design-savvy friend Morlen Sinoway Atelier.  The Free Hugs offer still stands, however.
