Re: Goin' to Chicago
Of course you must see ... #1 -- Wrigley Field. A ways up north. #2 -- There was at one time a famous bar in Chicago. The Pacific Beer Garden. And it had a rather (in)famous bartender. Mickey Finn. (We all know what was famous for.) This environment destroyed a lot of lives. But it was later "redeemed". A rescue mission moved in. And changed the name. And has a weekly radio broadcast about changed (redeemed) lives. Pacific Garden Mission. "Unshackled". Longest running dramatic radio show of all time. On Saturdays you can often sit in the audience while they tape the show. They do have tours. It's worth it to see what God is doing in real lives every day. No televangelists. Just a lot of hard, prayerful, faithful work. Sincerely, C. Brendemuehl 'Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.

Re: Goin' to Chicago
Mark, Try the vistas from the museum campus, about 1200 south on the lake shore. Depending on where you are staying, you can run the lake shore from Navy Pier, about 800 north all the way down to the football stadium. I've taken pictures on the peninsula out to Adler Planetarium that Paul talked about. There are plenty of folks running this route before dawn and it might give you a good look around. In addition, I wouldn't miss the new Millennium Park at the north end of Grant Park. There are some new, and very unusual public spaces there. The whole park is a big open space between downtown Chicago and the lake. Don't miss the Art Institute with the famous Lions out front or Pizzaria Uno or Due. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Goin' to Chicago
You can get a great shot of the skyline from the peninsula where the Adler Planetarium stands. It's very dramatic at night. The new Soldier's Field has some compelling angles that I would have liked to have shot last time I was in town, but Ididn't have time. (It looks like a flying saucer landed in a Greek temple. The NY Times archiitecture critic gave it rave revues. Most Chicagoans hate it. What could be better?) Michigan Avenue near the House of Blues is a great locale.

Yeah, and Lisa's a pathologist; she doesn't even get close to the level of "incentives" that the more lucrative specialties see.
