A beautiful night with the White Sox Southpaw waving the Sox flag The sun shining over the Chicago River Trump Hotel I love how the sun dances off the buildings. Hancock building A view of Guaranteed Rate Field from the Metra train Awesome venue where I saw Off With Their Heads, a fav band of mine At The Crepe Shop A latte at The Crepe Shop A mural I saw on my way to the Beat Kitchen
I was scrolling through my photos and reminiscing on my trip to Chicago last August before traveling to NYC.
Overall, I had a great trip. There were a few rocky family interactions, but lessons learned. I saw extended family, a few friends, one of my favorite bands, my White Sox, and got to eat my favorite foods. Best of all, I got to soak in the city, walking, taking the “L” (elevated trains, it’s what we Chicagoans call it), and enjoying beautiful, mild summer weather.
Even though I moved away and I have a life in Texas now, I doubt I will ever feel as free and as comfortable as I do hanging out in Chicago, whether downtown or in other parts of the city.
I love you, Chicago!
