I was in Chicago for the World Series last year and went up to the Sears Skydeck the night the Sox won. Four or five buildings had coordinated the lights in offices to spell out Sox Win! It was really cool, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen again.

I liked it, check it out if you are in the area, the casino has a great buffet. And Al Capone, yeah, Al Capone.

I loved the weather, gloomy, cold and sprinkling rain. The river is nice, the architecture is of a very east coast style without new skyscrapers, the people were so quiet though. I think if it had been a sunny day though, I would have wanted to leave immediatley. The cheese, well, I don’t want to start a fight, but the cheese isn’t worth it. And personally I don’t drink anymore but Miller? Come on.

The lake was pretty from there, and the Museum was really cool, if you are in Chicago and have some free time check out the Mil for an eerie experience.

Be SURE to check out the Hideaway if you are there, it’s by far the most interesting collection of weird spy stuff I’ve ever seen. Bring some friends.

It was sooo cold when we went, but it’s a pretty park, It will look so cool when the trees are finished growing!

Being from California, I find Chicago quite impressive. We don’t have cities like this in the West Coast. There is a mix of very old and very new. The downtown has an excellent transit system and Amtrak connects everything. It’s a massive place, second largest city in the United States. The first city in the world to have skyscrapers, in fact this is the city they were born in, and they were magnificent! Visit this city and experience the Urban U.S.
