chicago... chicago... that toddling town!

i adore chicago. i lived downtown in river north. just across from the merchandise mart. down the street from the house of blues. just a few blocks from pops for champagne, water tower, and whole foods. 3 blocks from michigan. a hop, skip, and jump from nordstrom. a quick cab ride to lincoln park. a train ride from wrigley.

this town is incredible. its clean, friendly, and so much fun. its a bulls, bears, and cubs kinda town. beer gardens, alfresco brunching, and summer street fairs. its the taste of chicago, lollapalooza, and sheffield garden walk. its the frozen chicago river, the green chicago river, and the sparkley chicago river during an architecture tour. its the first snow on the el tracks in winter, the blankets of tulips in spring, north ave beach in summer, and evening strolls in fall. its the wrigley building, tribune tower, johnny hancock, and the ole sears tower too.

chicago is late night burgers at the weiner circle. its tacos at TBP2, its sangria at iberico. its specialty cupcake shops, trendy hair salons, and relaxing day spas.

its my kind of town.
