Chicago, Il

I managed to get out of Bakerville, Indiana and on the road again. There was really nothing to see but corn fields. So on to Chicago.

Driving thru a maze of cars and highways leading you every which directions. I think it would be great if you lived here, you could look while you are driving, but as a tourist you are to busy figuring out where to go and not get hit by someone. I passed the White Sox stadium and when I noticed it, it was gone. I did find my way to Canal and Harrison and my hotel. After checking in I wandered the sea of penguines. Everyone seemed like in such a rush in the opposite direction. So I came up on Boston Blackies and had a couple of Guinness and met a local investment Broker, John and a nice girl who worked at the bar. They were great, giving me tons of ideas of places in Chicago to see. Well being I have to get on the road and enjoy
Route 66 and figure I am going to have to come back to
Chicago and see more. After Blackies I walked around some more and
ended up using my Guinness Pint finder App on my phone, sometimes you have to love computers. O so I found myself at Polk Street Pub.
Smaller bar, but had a great blacken cheeseburger and a couple pints. The 2 ladies working there were great. Definitely made me feel welcome to Chicago. While drinking a pint  watching a Chicago Hockey game and relaxed before finding my way back for the night.

Time to check out and drive over to the park and start Route 66.  I am sure I will get a few more pictures of Chicago today as I drive out. Have a great day Chicago, don't work to hard.

PS So this is how the Weather is in Chicago.
