I went to the Chicago Maifest on Saturday and Sunday in Lincoln Square, once known as Germantown Chicago. It's a Germanfest with brats, leberkase, thueringers, saurkraut and potato salad. Oh yeah... and beer! HUGE steins of Hofbrau Munchen! There were also a few bands playing and lots of silly hats and dancing.
You can see the Western Avenue "el" station in the background. The music and "revelry" were so loud, you couldn't hear the train go bye.
Leberkase is my new best friend! It's sort of like spam, if you've never had it you should go look for some at a German butcher near you!
