Chicago

Chicago Skyline
Lake Shore ride, not Drive this time!

Lake Shore Ride

I had the opportunity to borrow a friend's bike in Detroit, MI and find a perfect July weekend to go visit friends in Chicago. Rush-hour traffic on Lake Shore Drive gave me more time to enjoy the city's downtown skyline! Always an extraordinary experience - and changing as new residential buildings are under costruction near the Chicago river.
Krause Music Store

Architecture

The city of Chicago is dotted with great pieces of architecure. Not only the obvious, ever present skyscrapers. One has to go discover the not-so-famous buildings scattered here and there, such as the terracotta-cladded Krause Music Store on Lincon Avenue, in the Northeast part of town.

 Impressive overview of Chicago. I especially enjoyed your restaurant tip. I love Millennium Park so, of course, I enjoyed your perspectives concerning it.
