Chicago's South Side St. Patrick's Day Parade | March 11, 2012
As another year winds down and so many of us here at Time Out Chicago enjoy our (hard-earned!) holiday break, we, like so many, look back on where the past year has taken us, Googling quotes about time passing in hopes of inspiring profound reflection. But a quote is nothing in place of a picture, and with that in mind, we present a look back at 2012 as seen through our favorite online photos of the year.
Our 2012 year-in-review features plenty of shots from the established traditions that are synonymous with "Chicago"—events like Lolla, Pride, St. Patty's—but also some of the lesser-known, but no less "Chicago," happenings, like Baconfest. Actually, Baconfest might have been the most "Chicago" thing to happen all year. And of course, what would a look back on 2012 be without a return to every Chicagoan's favorite event—the NATO protests?
So before you flip the calendar, check the slideshow and look back on the year that was—and all the weird and awesome moments that make this city so thrilling, so often. Scan the crowds in these photos to see if you're a part of the memories, and if not, remember what Google tells us about native son Carl Sandburg: "Time is the coin in your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it is spent." And maybe we'll see you in the photos next year.
It's okay to be a show-off.
