Smile Planet Earth.... meet.... C-H-I-C-A-G-O (WARNING - GIGANTIC POST)
All photos were taken by me between 2003 and 2007.... no particular order.

So Mayor Daley wants us to introduce Chicago to the world.... here is just a paltry TASTE of one of the great cities of our time.

Enjoy... none other than.... C-H-I-C-A-G-O
TransitEngr




AIR SHOW


















CUBS GAME.... NOTICE THE FIGHTER JET IN BACKGROUND






LOOK HARD TO FIND *TWO* BLUE ANGEL FIGHTER JETS









THIS ONE REMINDS ME OF A UNITED AIRLINES COMMERCIAL.






























BIG FELLA









THE INLAND STEEL BUILDING.... SMALL ...BUT A BAD-ASS.






BOW DOWN One of our planet's 1st Skyscrapers...now the beautiful Hotel Burnham.





















NOPE... NO PHOTO SHOP... THIS IS 100% UNEDITED








































































AT THE PRECISE MOMENT I WAS TRYING TO PHOTOGRAPH A HORNET FIGHTER JET DURING THE AIR SHOW.... NATURE'S HORNET PUT ON A LITTLE SHOW FOR ME:














































































FLURRIES


















WHITE SOX WORLD SERIES CHAMPS... TICKER TAPE PARADE















DOG BEACH







































TO QUOTE BORAT.... "BE CAREFUL... HE BITES"



IF YOU HAVEN'T YET SEEN IT IN PERSON.... YOU ARE MISSING OUT

That was one of the few times I really got a feeling for a city from a thread. Great compilation from over the years.

Well worth the hard drive explosion. Chicago is one of a kind.

The Inland Steel Bldg looks like it could have been built today.

Me too, great thread. One of the best I've seen of Chicago, and believe me I'm not one who use that word around here because I feel it doesn't mean much when its used so loosely and often. This thread really makes me realize how american this city really is.

Hard to believe I haven't been there since Labor Day '99. What's wrong with me?
