I love THE LAKE...I love the Chicago River, and the way that it winds through the city...I love the Planetarium, and the dolphin show at the Shedd Aquarium...
I love learning the history of Chicago, and that there's so much of it...I love being in a city that was nearly burned to the ground but never gave up, and instead rebuilt itself a thousand times better...I love the architecture and the skyline and especially the Hancock Observatory...
I love that I can see where the Haymarket affair happened...I love that I can stand at the old Water Tower...
I REALLY love the Chicago Cubs.
And the zoo there is amazing, and FREE...
My favorite thing about Chicago is the fact that, while I've visited other big cities, it's only in Chicago that I feel like I'm at home. More than anywhere else, it truly is America's City...
That's why the 'America Windows' couldn't possibly have been anywhere else!
I know little or nothing about Chicago...but this entry makes me want to visit there now.
ReplyDeleteThose windows are stunning, I love them!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Chicago is the nearest big city to my cousin Lyz, so it's definately a place I plan to see one day :o)
