Sketch # 8 - Chicago or Paris?

Le Metra - Van Buren Metra Station
This entrance to the Van Buren St. Metra Station was a gift from Chicago's sister city Paris in 2001.  Paris is my 2nd favorite city (next to Chicago) and so I love to see this glimse of Paris here in my city.  The Metro station entrances of Paris were designed by Hector Guimard around 1900 in the Art Nouveau style.
