Yup, thats my beautiful city. I love seeing photos of the skyline. It's beautiful :p...

I some other pictures of Chicago that you might enjoy. One of my good friends, who is a photographer, snapped this while she was on the lakefront late one summer's night. The next is one that found online somewhere.

Chicago's quite a picturesque city. It holds up well to zoomed-in scrutiny, too.

Didn't see much, but traffic was horrible!!!

Loved meigs field though, too bad it's no longer there. :(

But my favorite was the Magnificent Mile. My girlfriend-at-the-time (wife now) had a great time! It was our first trip together too! Great memories. ....

Traffic is horrible which is why I like riding in it so much. It's kinda sad that meigs field is no longer there. I still don't understand why our mayor decided to rip it up.
