Chicago’s an architect’s heaven. We walked the city and back today while Doug continuously clicked away.
the Sears Tower, the tallest building in the U.S.,
the Hancock Tower,
Gehry’s Music Pavillion, where we sat and listened while the Chicago Orchestra practiced.
And that’s just a taste. Oh, speaking of taste, before our Chicago experience was over we needed to check out the famous deep dish pizza.
Ehhh…I’m still a thin crust girl.
Lastly, Wrigley Field.
The Phils were actually playing the Cubs while we were here but we were just about tapped out so we settled for a trip to Wrigleyville, the area surrounding the stadium—an experience in itself.
The architecture of Wrigleyville consists of charming brownstones shaded by trees, much like other upscale Chicago residential neighborhoods. Except a lot of the buildings and homes surrounding the stadium have the Wrigley Roof with sky top bleachers for fans to view the game. It was quite a sight to see.
Sorry, Chi-Town, that’s all we have time for. We’ll be back for sure.
