My final day - I went down to Millennium Park and to the lake
|
|
|
We ran down this road under that bridge
|
Fall is upon Chicago... the temps were in the upper 60s
|
Entrance to that bridge
|
|
|
Trumpets
|
This is me under it.
|
Yes, this is really me taking pictures of myself into the shiney blob...
|
Another view. A Chicago-style dog is one with mustard, tomatoes, pickles, peppers, onions on a poppy seed bun.
|
|
The Map Room is in an area called Buck Town
|
From my vantage point. That bartender had one MOUTH on her!
|
This reminded me of some of the neighborhoods we ran through
|
It's just a cool neighborhood
|
Not sure what this is, but it looked interesting
|
|
Clear water
|
|
|
Entering the park
|
|
Banner touting the marathon
|
So we started the race back there...
|
That big shiney thing caught my eye... I MUST investigate!
|
|
|
So I'm hungry - I get a Chicago-style hot dog, chips, and a coke and sit in this park enjoying a perfect day!
|
For Chad - the building from Adventures in Babysitting where the girl was walking outside on it.
|
There were 2 of these "faces" facing each other
|
These were the elevated taps. There are more on the right.
|
My first 2 beers
|
Buck Town
|
|
From the Damen stop looking into Buck Town
|
|
|
|
I love the look of a picture-perfect 747...
|
|
So it's a big concert stage... pretty cool.
|
|
And ran under this bridge and under that road. It's a double-decker road and there was NO air in there on that humid morning.
|
|
Good gosh it's huge! And shiney!
|
Pointing to the Prudential building
|
This is part of my view while eating my dog.
|
This was a fountain that the faces changed and the water came out the top and the mouth.
|
For Kevin: I made it to the Map Room!
|
Inside...
|
3rd beer... and final. I had to leave for the airport.
|
|
|
Goodbye Chicago! I had a great visit...
