CHICAGO - That Toddling Town (2006-08)

I have taken three business trips to Chicago, the Windy City. Although the trips did not allow for site seeing, what I was able to fleetingly experience, I thoroughly enjoyed.

The tony area around the Hancock Tower - shopping and business district - is bustling and clean. The area reverberates with energy. In the summer, an inviting Lake Michigan is a short, pleasant walk away. Along the lake shore, there are casual places to eat. (A big nod to the Oak Street Beach Bistro's tasty vegetarian Quesadillas.) The bistro and promenade offer a beautiful view of the lake and dynamic people-watching.

My goal: One day, I'd like to toddle through Chicago instead of rushing through it.
