It brought up a real sense of nostalgia. I went to college and my first bout of grad school in the Chicago area (Northwestern) and spent a lot of time exploring downtown, the Art Institute and the museums. I absolutely love that city and it was so great to have a virtual trip back!Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-20730814252399575192011-06-23T08:44:55.378-04:002011-06-23T08:44:55.378-04:00Thanks, JC, for providing me with some vicarious t...Thanks, JC, for providing me with some vicarious travel to one of my favorite cities.

There ...These are beautiful details to contemplate. There are just so many pieces in the Art Institute I have not seen. I want to go back in August when we go to Lollapalooza for Lord Huron!<br /><br />I had not heard about the Metra, and that it has those art deco wrought iron designs like Paris! Fabulous.<br /><br />I once saw a Segway in East Lansing! I was doing East Lansing Daily Photo at the time, and I saw a guy standing still on one, talking to another guy who wasn't on one, right on Grand River on a sidewalk. It's one of my big regrets that I didn't drum up the nerve to ask if I could take their picture. Can you believe I didn't? I so would now.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-52779820105011160852011-06-23T04:23:13.656-04:002011-06-23T04:23:13.656-04:00Chicago is one of my favorite cities and I love yo...Chicago is one of my favorite cities and I love your photos of it.Joanne Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759522152058279949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-71996329729455144632011-06-22T21:46:51.814-04:002011-06-22T21:46:51.814-04:00Love the pics!

Love that! <br /><br />The stained glass display at Navy Pier is amazing!<br /><br />Looks like such a fun trip. I can't wait to head back to Chicago eventually! I will likely be there this fall as my SIL is having a baby in September. Have you ever toured the Frank Lloyd Wright studio in Oak Park?

And after seeing your pictures of all the art, as I left my comments on oh's blog, Jeanie, you must see the Woody Allen movie "Midnight In Paris".
