I just got back from spending the weekend in Chicago with my family, and took this picture of one of the older buildings downtown. I have to say, Chicago is one of my favorite cities. I spent a summer there during college when I had an internship downtown, and got to know the city pretty well. I love it! It's so vibrant and loud and colorful and busy and alive! It's also one of the most beautiful cities, with all the parks (Millenium Park is my favorite) and wonderful old Art Deco buildings from the 1920s and '30s. It also has this, I don't know quite what to call it, kind of a feeling, an atmosphere, an attitude is maybe the best word. Chicago is undeniably Chicago, and could never be mistaken for any other city.
Millenium Park is by far one of my favorite places in Chicago. I love the row of older buildings lining the far side of Michigan Ave with the open park on other side. And the park itself is wonderful! I love the fountains with the faces that spit water, and the garden with the wooden walkway bordered by running water with a step that you can sit on and soak your feet, which is wonderful after hours of walking on a hot summer day!
