Windy City Wonders

Chicago, Chi-Town, the Windy City.  What a wonderful place.  This is by far my favorite big city on my adventure.  There is a ground swell of energy all over the place.  There is a plethora of public art.  The architecture is spectacular.  There is also one of the best and historic baseball fields left in Major League Baseball.  The downtown was busting with activity.  I stayed in a really charming boutique hotel.  I walked along the lake and was amazed at Millennium Park with the beautiful art and the Prtizker Performing Arts Pavillion, designed by Frank Gehry.  I also went to a performance of the comedy team – “Second City”.  They were hysterical and I bet we see some of the stars in prime time.  Here are just a few glimpses of this fabulous city.  Oh, and pay close attention to the crowd shot at the Cubs game.  You might recognize an infamous Chicago politician.
