Chicago, Illinios

My Kind of Town

Downtown Chicago from Grant Park
I had the pleasure of working out of downtown Chicago during a week in late October- and I enjoyed every last minute of it. The people here are ultra friendly and helpful, it was their pleasure to show and tell this great city. I enjoyed not only famed Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue, but the quaint neighborhoods of Little Italy and Lakeview near Wrigley Field... there was sooo much to do I think I'd need a few months to do it all. They call this the second city, but I'll tell you, I think its second to none.

Chicago Sports

The Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox... listed in my personal order of preference, all have very faithful fans who will watch their teams rain or shine, win or lose... so when those teams do win, OF COURSE you're going to hear alot of hype around them. But these fans are true blue knowledgable fans, they know the rules of the games and the history of their teams, much different than the casual Miami or L.A. fans. I am a proud Cubs fan who has spent many an October wishing they could reach the World Series... and if they ever do, you'll see a very happy guy drunk at Wrigley Field.
