This is Diane next to a bunch of old looking buildings in Chicago. Way out there behind her in the distance is the Wrigley Building, which was built clear back in the 1920s. It was the first sky scraper North of the Chicago River, and the city's first air conditioned office building. I just think it's a pretty neat chunk of rocks, that's all. This city has been alive and running for a century now and it is a thrill to be part of it. Every time I walk down the streets I'm a part of that same unbridled force that's been around since the Capone days...without all the terror. I think the only other city that I've really felt that way is New York. Just by walking down those streets you've been injected with success, its impossible to fail if you can fit in with the hustle bustle of a megalopolis. That's saying a lot for a guy from Cache Valley!
This is Sara next to a bunch of new looking buildings in Chicago. On this day in Chicago we parked right next to the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, as seen behind the Sara. We sorta stuck around in that area for most of the day, and occasionaly walked on down Michigan Avenue to the Trump Tower and back. There's so much to do in that small area that we could have stayed for several days, and probably would have, if Sara had her way. That great big building with the pointy hat marks the spot where we eat pizza. A lot of pizza. Just beyond the Jay Pritzker pavilion is the giant silver bean featured in so many blogs of yesteryear.
