Chicago

Walked out of a movie at the Alamo Draft House to this. Lots of people out partying after the Cubs game suddenly scrambling to get inside.

My family spent three days in your wonderful city. We did the touristy things, kept the hotel window open ("Chicago Fire, Med, and PD are all live right now!" I exclaimed to my wife as the 5th fire engine of the early, early morning sang its equally-weary song. She was not amused.)

The Shedd is still under construction, the Museum of Science and Industry is amazing, the Bean/Cloud Gateway is shiny, and Rossi's is my new favorite dive bar.

Thank you, Chicago, for the trains and the easy walking. Uber drivers - you guys and gals and non-gendered folks are simply the best at getting through a congested city while showing almost no stress. You are machines. My love and all the custom $10 tips.

Join us at Downer's Grove library to assemble signs and stickers for the DSA rally on Saturday in Wheaton.

And of course it's the 6 from the 90s.

Way to go Chicago! This was really great to see! I'm glad we are taking care of our neighbors.
