Plein Air- Village Inn Sports Bar & Grill, Skokie

I have painted in many towns since I began Plein Air painting, but never in my home town of Skokie.  Today I had planned to paint at St Mary on the Lake Seminary in Mundelein as their grounds are just beautiful, but with gusts of 25mph at times, I opted to find a place that was not so opened to the elements.   I returned home and took my equipment to downtown Skokie.  There I decided on painting the local Pizza Sports Bar & Grill.  This building was a white cloth Italian Restaurant 40 years ago and as time changes, so does the restaurant menu and style...but the outside is still the same....So it was my point of interest today.   Next time, I will paint the St Peters Catholic Church which is at the same intersection, I stood next to it today while I painted.
