Chicago Home





It's often times that I take advantage the wonderfulness that is Chicago. Although having traveled across the globe, Chicago is always my start and my end. With the International Olympic Committee visit, it seems appropriate that today's blog post be dedicated to all the great things that are Chicago; from an INSIDE perspective.


The Field Museum!

The website does not do it Justice. The Field Museum, in my mind, epitomizes all that is Chicago. The history, the landmarks and features. I've had dreams where I'm alone at the Field Museum at night and I have 'challenges' I need to face. Like a cooler more nerdy version of the movie "A night at the museum". hahahhaa. yes. I am nerd.

Olympic Visit: Chicago


One rarely ever believes that home can be an exotic destination. Yet today as I rode the bus to work, I was overcome with an immense overwhelming culture shock.

O.K. I know I'm dramatic. Maybe not immensely overwhelming, but surprising at the least. My daily bus ride to my office building passes Daley Plaza which is overlooked by the MASSIVE CBS screen. We were riding peacefully along when the bus driver says "WHat.. the... HELL?"

People in the masses had crowded into the plaza for.... a free TShirt? Mayhem was a-muck as normally revered business people pushed and shoved to grab at a t-shirt that says Chicago 2016. huh. interesting. what we Americans will do for the enticing "FREE".
