		<title>Centrists Pool</title>

 		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/centrist/4143536658/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/4143536658_bf5764ed7f_t.jpg&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;Blank Space&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;



A gathering place for politically moderate or middle of the road people, which is not to say those who base their views on a poll of those around them. Conspiracy theorists and members of the far left or far right who attempt to co-opt the concept of centrism will not be greeted gently. Eg. Barack Obama is not a Centrist. Support for the practice of indefinite detention without charge is an extreme position.

The centrism of this group will tend to lean slightly to the right, but not so far to the right as to accommodate those who love the idea of torturing confessions out of criminal suspects. This is a group for people who understand the words &amp;quot;behave yourself&amp;quot; and know that it isn&#039;t synonymous with &amp;quot;mind your place&amp;quot;; ethical rationalism that remembers what traditional, normative Western values were, and has no patience with the faddish replacements that have followed.

Photos should bear some connection to the discussions in the forum in which one has participated. Personal squabbles and drama are to be taken over to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrists/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Angry Centrists group&lt;/a&gt;. Material which is not safe for general audiences (eg. abortion shots, photos showing freshly injured victims of police brutality or gang violence) should not be posted here; that&#039;s what &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/centrism/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Explicitly Centrist group&lt;/a&gt; is for. Those wishing to follow this group may do so through Twitter by subscribing to &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.com/_centrists_&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chill Session&lt;/a&gt;.

			<title>Cul de Sac at North Ave and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago</title>
			<link>https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_loop/7324438756/in/pool-1329652@N22</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.flickr.com/people/the_loop/&quot;&gt;The Urban Backpacker&amp;#039;s Quarterly / Joseph Dunphy&lt;/a&gt; has added a photo to the pool:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_loop/7324438756/&quot; title=&quot;Cul de Sac at North Ave and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://live.staticflickr.com/8142/7324438756_48a742a1f8_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;155&quot; alt=&quot;Cul de Sac at North Ave and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
North Ave. does not quite meet Lake Shore Drive, ending in a cul de sac separated from the drive by a few feet of concrete at the least, and the entrance to the underpass to the beach for a few feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The non-representational white statue you see in the center of the cul de sac is no longer there, having been removed a few years ago. I couldn&#039;t tell you why, but this is not unusual - public art in and near Lincoln Park is usually only on temporary display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Entering the underpass to North Avenue beach, in Chicago, going under Lake Shore Drive, which is on the other side of the fence to the left, just inches away. The John Hancock Tower just barely manages to poke above the trees near the center of the frame - note the building with the twin antennae.&lt;br /&gt;
