I love to read about free, cheap, or interesting things to do in downtown Chicago, but I'm afraid most of the time, I never get beyond the "oh, I'd love to check that out" phase.

I also like to learn from observing and listening to the people I meet along the way and hopefully make a few new friends. 2014 - I've been pretty quiet on Travelblog for a while...living in my childhood house, going to grad school and working 2-3 jobs at the same time didn't leave much fun ... full info

The Movie Scene
From the movie, "Seven Year Itch." It was a very hot scene back in those days. I remember it well.

Oh The Places We Went...!
Oh what a great day we had!! I always have soooo much fun with you Heather & I can't believe you were able to remember all those details!! Reading about everything we did... it all came back to me!! ( I have no memory!) EVERYONE... you have to see the Cultural Center, it is so beautiful, words ( and pictures) cannot describe!! Heather, you are amazing & such a treasure. I took pictures that day too, but I don't understand why mine don't look like yours!!??? I guess it's true that it takes someone with a special "eye" to communicate the beauty seen, thru a camera lens for the rest of us to experience! LOVE YOU TONS!! THANKS FOR THE FUN!!
