Meigs Field!

[center][i]Hey All!
I was away in Chicago all last week on business.
Got to go to the top of the Sears Tower.
Sorry for the quality as I did not take my Nikon D-70 with me

Very cool!  The quality is not that bad at all.  But then again if you're used to a Nikon D70 then relatively speaking it probably is.

LOL!

Actually the camera I took was my really old Olympus something, something. It was like 8 years old. The batteries were held in with duct tape. It looks as if these will be the last shots with that camera as when I got home, the housing was totally cracked. It is now amongst the toys in my kids room!  ;D

Cool stuff (except for the ravaged corpse of Meigs; makes my blood boil)... I'm going back to Chi-Town this fall to do another restaurant; I hope to make it to the tower (and the museum!) next time.

should have told me you were going to chicago. could have told you the BEST pizza place in chicago... unmles your a die-hard new york look-alike pizza thing...

if you went to Northerly Island (meigs), there are 2 bike paths, an outdoor art gallery, the Charter One Amphitheatre, and some digging (new water main) on the island.

:PRamos.
