Chicago is known the world over for its architecture, theater, and tourist sights. But every city has its dark and dirty side, and Chicago is no exception. Olejnickzak showcases neglected, sometimes forgotten places--often a stone's throw from the opulence of the Magnificent Mile. From shuttered industrial areas to churches whose congregations have moved on, see what happens when the doors close, nature takes over, and the din of humanity fades away--Adapted from back cover.

Autorenporträt
JERRY OLEJNICZAK has been awed by places abandoned, forgotten, or otherwise on the sidelines of society since he was a kid. On trips to his family's native Poland, he would thrill at the post-WWII ruins or empty construction sites he could visit in the then Eastern-Bloc country. As an adult, he began to cautiously try his hand at exploring the abandoned buildings he would pass occasionally at work. Soon, he bought a camera to document the unique beauty of the places he was finding. Jerry has lived most of his life in or around Chicago. He currently resides in Oak Park, Illinois, with his wife and two cats.
