I love Chicago even more now that I've visited twice. The people are SO friendly! And Grant Park is definately the perfect spot for Lollapalooza.

We decided to walk along the waterfront Sunday night instead of through the crowded, sweaty streets and under a giant underpass that went on FOREVER... I had difficulty breathing by the time we got out from under that thing. Chicago definately is NOT as pedestrian friendly as it should be.

Jack White is probably the most interesting rock musician to come on the scene in a long time...

what this huge new building is called, but it wasn't there last year when I visited Grant Park. I love it though.

OK, so Ernest Hemingway was a great writer. But I learned from this museum that the guy was a dick. A real machismo type into killing animals for sport. Not cool.

I think this was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It's right next door to his home and studio, and I know he designed a lot of homes in the area.

Oak Park. Didn't have time to go inside, but I bet it's pretty neat.

Their a lot older than I thought they were, but the singers voice is still killer.
