Bwog wants to know what your living space was like this past summer. Were you back home? Staying in New York? Did you find yourself (abroad)? Send us a photo of your view or room before you move out, along with a brief description of where you were to tips@bwog.com. Below, tipster Laura F shows us her summer lodgings.

Where: Chicago, IL

Sight:

Sound: Cars in the alleyway and my numerous phone calls with Andre and Sakura at Manhattan Mini Storage. My dad playing Brahms on the piano without pause. But when the loud jets start vrooming for the Air and Water Show, we hear nothing else for days.

Smell: A mix of city grime and the flowers and herbs my mother painstakingly takes care of every day. Our tomato plants are coming in nicely!

Taste: Iced coffee and the strawberries I picked out of our pots. Basil for the pesto I’m making later.
