Manchester-based photographer, Matthew Comer, put together an impressive video documenting his stay at the Renaissance Blackstone in Chicago not all that long ago. It caught our eye and we had to learn more about this guy.
It didn’t take us long to realize that Matthew is a pretty well-known photographer with images displayed in Urban Outfitters, among other places. On top of that, he was a part of a recent competition centered around Route 66. We couldn’t help but pin him down to find out more about what he does, how he wound up at Blackstone, and what he thought.
Maxwell brought his BLACKsummers’night flavor to the Blackstone on Tuesday for an intimate concert after party.
The sultry singer, who will be staying at Renaissance hotels throughout his tour, hunkered down at the elegant Renaissance Chicago Blackstone to chat with hotel guests, grab some post-show grub and snap photos with fans. (The ladies definitely were not shy as you can see)
Comedian Guy Torry provided the laughs and Maxwell’s band was in the house until the wee hours of the night. The Grammy-winner wished he could’ve stayed longer, but with 30 more tour dates ahead it was all soda water and sleep.

Who doesn’t like some strong margaritas and Mexican food? People who don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, that’s who. So let’s take a moment and forget about those people because they bring us no joy on this day filled with tasty celebrations. Cinco de Mayo has always been one of favorite holidays, but do you know the holiday’s background? A lot of people don’t. It goes something like this:
The Mexican army wasn’t expected to win the war against the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. But they won anyway! They were the underdogs turned champions and who doesn’t like a good ol’ triumphant war story? Cinco de Mayo is commonly confused with Mexico’s Independence Day, which is September 16. Cinco de Mayo has become a holiday that celebrates all of Mexico’s heritage and pride and often times that celebration manifests itself with tasty drinks.
