Flying Frog
I don’t really know what to say… this certainly does look like a giant flying frog over Chicago. Any Chicagoans out there with some sort of clue about this floating amphibian?
Thanks to J Hamsa.

don’t know what the frog is, but there is some crazy perspective changes around that location (look slightly south-east), looks brilliant.
Rainforest Cafe. It may be a frog - I can’t remember. It’s part of the theme.
Here’s a ground-level view of the giant frog at the Rainforest Cafe:

This was solved fast ;]
The red-framed building to the west is The Rock & Roll McDonald’s - basically your run-of-the-mill McDonald’s, loaded with all kinds of cool rock memorabilia.
Up the road used to be Michael Jordan’s Restaurant - it’s since been sold and is now the only 3-story Mexican restaurant in Chicago.
I didn’t even get to make a frogger joke.
what a beautiful mcdonalds next to it
I figured this was a permanent fixture since the SAME image was on the edge of the building in Microsoft Live Local.
Isn’t there a website that shows a Street level, side view of all streets in a city?
I found it on maps.a9.com http://maps.a9.com/?mscl=3000,30000&mimg=19d5ce8eeca0360d,0&mstr=N%20Clark%20St&ypLoc=Chicago%2C%20IL%2060624&mll=41.89321825940674,-87.63135941412263,41.89018071810921,-87.63662018266174,41.892620513,-87.631144217

from street level.. definately the ‘rainforest’ cafe, 1 block north is the HARD rock cafe.
The McDs has been rebuilt with a new two story mega McDonalds with plasma televisions everywhere etc. That part of town is kinda for tourists, imo.
Him name is Hopkin green frog!
ps I’ll find my frog..

The Frog is on the top of the Rainforest Cafe on Clark.
It is from Rainforest Cafe.I can’t remember the name of the red-eyed tree frog though… I looked it up, it’s name is ChaCha.I don’t think any of you would be interested in the website, but I’ll put it up anyway.The resturants are all over and the inside of the restuarants are really cool. Most of them have small aquariums and a cute little shop at the front. Anyway, check out the site if you want to know more about it.
