Re: Chicago Photowalk--2 options
For all you distant travelers thinking about coming to Chicago in May... Chicago is a big city of 4+ million with all the associated +/- stuff. It's a marvelous city set on the shores of a giant fresh water lake. But, it's in the middle of the USA - 2 hours flight time to New York City or Washington DC - 3.5 hours to Calfornia and the west coast. There's no dropping into Los Angeles for the day from here. Chicago grew from a small village in the 1850's because of it's central location and the growth of railroad transportation and farming. Chicago sits at the eastern edge of the Great Plaines - now states like Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois - some 1,000 miles planted in corn, wheat, soybeans, etc. and originally treeless prairie. Milwaukee is the nearest city (1.5 million souls) a 1.5 hour car ride north. St. Louis is similar in size but 6 hours southwest and on the Mississippi River. Until the railroads, transportation was North/South along the Mississippi. Public transit between cities is mainly via cars. The public rail transit to other cities is nowhere near European expectations. We fly or drive. I tell you this because you might like to see some of the midwest outside of the metropolitan area. I would consider renting a car and driving down to St. Louis, or Davenport Iowa (just across the Mississippi), or Milwaukee. It's simple to travel on the interstate highway system and stay at a Motel (motor hotel). I have to think more about activities I would recommend in Chicago.
