Happy Groundhog Day #5 -- February 2, 2014

Happy Groundhog Day to all.

"Groundhog in Lincoln Park" reads the caption from a 1925 Chicago Daily News photo. The Groundhog is posing at the zoo, in front of a painted background. I hope it is not a stuffed groundhog.
The photo comes from the Library of Congress' wonderful American Memory site (http://memory.loc.gov/). DN-0078555, Chicago Daily News negatives collection, Chicago Historical Society.

Today is also the 100th anniversary of the release of Charlie Chaplin's first movie, "Making a Living."  Read more about it on my movies-mostly blog, The Big V Riot Squad: http://bigvriotsquad.blogspot.com/2014/02/charlie-chaplins-first-movie-february-2.html
