[This is a repost of a post I wrote several years ago. I thought a good chuckle was in order! I hope you enjoy it — have a wee laugh if you are so inclined!]
The GIGANTIC door in the photo above is 14 feet high; yes, I kid you not. Well, funny, I would use the word “kid” as this door is not functional; it is a display of sorts at “Big Monster Toys Company” here in Chicago. Look who is guarding the toy company with mammoth teeth and googly eyes:
Why, it’s this guy, “Big Monster” himself! I daresay not too many people will get past this green, hairy, scary guy, will they? To put the size of the door into perspective, I waited until a couple of people walked by; you’ll see what I mean:
I tried to get a good photo of the door; however, I had to stand on the road and watch for traffic to get the pictures you see here! Suffice it to say they were a quick snap and got back on the sidewalk quickly!
I attempted to see if there was another door into the building, one without a centurion monster! I couldn’t find anything open to the public. I sure wanted to get past that furry fiend and take a peek inside! Ah, Chicago, you are filled with fun!





Did you ever find out?
I never did, Don! Thank you for asking the question, as I am now back to thinking about finding it! LOL How odd that the monster would prevent us from have a look-see inside? LOL! *grin* Cher xoxoxo
Scary! 🫣😂
LOL Did you see the last pic with the people walking by, John? It really puts into perspective how big that door really is! LOL P.S. Yes, Scary!! LOL Cher xoxoxo
Yes, I saw it’s size, it must be tough to keep that door sealed in winter. Just guessing!
I hadn’t even thought of that, John! Maybe the monster scares the drafts away! I mean, he is pretty hulking after all! LOL Cher xoxoxo
Yeah, he’s a huge guard dog! 💀 I just changed the seals on my doors because even here it’s drafty and the bugs and scorpions had an easy ingress… No more!
LOL John, when I read the word ‘scorpions’ I instantly remembered that you weren’t in Michigan anymore! LOL (I knew you weren’t, but I thought it sounded funny!) Cher xoxoxo
Nope! I’ve been out of Michigan since 2103, have we been following each other that long or am I missing something? I like to take a black light flashlight out at night and go shining for scorpions. You must have long pants, full shoes and socks. And, a tool like a very long screwdriver or other tools to terminate them. Sounds like great fun, eh? Not! 😂
LOL I knew you had been out of Michigan for a long time! Since 2014, John! Oh my goodness! No doubt, eh? “Not” indeed!! LOL Cher xoxoxo
How delightful! SF has some great doors but you have to stand in the road.
Thank you! I remember how funny it was to see this blue monster staring at me! Hahaha Oh gee, do you, JT? Cher xoxoxo
Some people wouldn’t be able to reach the handle of the door. It is a fun photo 💕
That would be yours truly! All 5’2″ of me, Joseph! LOL Ah, thank you, my friend! Cher xoxoxo
Haha, very cool, I love that!
LOL Thank you, Erika! I remember when I came upon it! I was laughing while taking the photos! Hahaha Me too! Cher xoxoxo
I bet 😂
LOL LOL!!!
I enjoyed the FUN photo Cher… Sending some love over the ocean xx <3
Hi, dear Sue! Thank you so much! And thank you so much for the love over the ocean! It is reciprocated! Cher xoxoxo
Thank you Cher…. take care and enjoy your weekend xx <3
Thank you, dear Sue! And to you as well! Cher xoxoxo
Oops, I meant 2013… 😂
You mean, you aren’t a time traveler coming back from 2103? LOL
I have access to a Stargate, many things are possible – alternate dimensions and time travel and more! 🤭
I figured as such, John! 😂😂⭐️⭐️
Oh? You have mystical powers, Cher! 🤭😂❤️
As a matter of fact, I do!! ⭐️⭐️😂
Spin your magic on me! 😂
LOL LOL!!!
