The Law Troll

The older Law School building at Northwestern University’s downtown campus has an interior courtyard, full of benches, flowers, mother ducks and their ducklings in spring, and…the law troll. He’s a charming fellow who greets everyone as they enter the outdoor garden.  He has a stern look, but he seems to take a lot of ribbing without moving a  muscle. Rather a charming sort in an old fashioned way.

I visited Chicago and walked the streets where I once I lived when I was in my twenties, where I studied and played, before I made my escape to Wisconsin. This is a view taken from Northwestern University’s downtown campus. Lake Shore Park, in the foreground, was the spot for 16 inch softball games after classes.

Water Tower Place and the John Hancock Center loom in the background. I was near the Water Tower building the day a concrete panel fell from the side of the building. Just glad I wasn’t too close when the building started shedding hard rock!
