I received this email this morning ...
<span style="font-size: small;"]<span style="font-family: Calibri;"]
"Your photo(s) shown below have been short-listed for inclusion in the twelfth edition of our Schmap Chicago Guide, to be published at the end of this month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] <o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: small;"]<span style="font-family: Calibri;"]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"]While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers.

Plus they sent me a list of legal copyrightmumble jumble to read of what they can do with the photo. I didn't submit the photo to them but they obviously found it on flickr.

Here is a link to their past guide ...
