A sunny afternoon in Chicago
I could not handle the rain and gloom in the northeast for a moment longer, so the TH Daughter and I lit out for the territory. Chicago, that is, where the sun is shining long and warm as it ought in late June. We took in the Taste of Chicago, the Shedd Aquarium (which I had not been to in a very long time and which is way cooler than I remembered), and the Cubs and White Sox interleague game at "the Cell." Herewith, a few shots from my Blackberry, with the chance of more to come if I have the energy and you have the enthusiasm...
The actual opening pitch in a 5-4 victory for the Northsiders...

I'm glad you went out there! I'm always glad when folks get to Chicago. Two buildings I didn't recognize in the photo standing on the steps of the Shedd: what's the one with the spire lined up with that middle lamppost? And the new one going up about 2" to the left of that? (I haven't been out there in too long, myself.)

The one with the spire is the Trump Tower (on the site of the old Sun-Times building on the river). I'm not sure which other one you are referring to. The one under construction?

Aha, Trump Tower.. hmm, not sure if I like having such a name, but thanks. :) As for the other one, yes, the one that's almost done, with the crane.
