Chicago was Great!

Last month I was in Chicago for a conference at the Drake Hotel. (they sure don’t build them like that any more!) and got to spend time on the Near North Side. Growing up on the South Side and leaving for the Army in 1971, I was impressed with just how nice Chicago has become.

North Michigan Avenue has to be the best shopping east of New York, Navy pier is a big theme park, the Water Tower area is certainly unique. There are great beaches and lots to do, even if the Cubbies aren’t in town!

At a famous blues club, the drummer didn’t show, so they drafted my 14 year old son, Matt, from the audience to open the set. He played like he’d done it forever according to his proud papa.

If you haven’t been to Chicago in a while you might want to consider it. It’s great fun!
