This is the view to the north (above) and south (below) along the river that is turned green every St. Patrick's day. Actually, it looked kinda greenish when we were there...

Chicago has a lot of sights made famous by movies, like the one below.

Anyone?

Exactly: the stairs in Union Station of babycarriage-fame from the Untouchables!

Another favorite is the Watertower, below, just about the only building in Chicago that survived the great fire.

And this square, too.

It felt good to find some Dutch influence in the middle of all of this.... The temperature reads 19F (= -7C)

Of course we also visited Chinatown.

I don't think that's what it's for, but it makes a great picture!
