standing on the corner of adams and la salle streets
a girl walking her dog.. sears tower in the background.. business district.. more starbucks (there is one in every block) here than mcdonalds.. photo taken after having lunch in chipotle (a mexican food franchise serving mainly burritos.. not bad but i still prefer manila's mexicali over it)
walking along michigan avenue.. a couple.. art institute of chicago (building on the right side of the street) (i was able to get in for free).. chicago skyline (notice the 'falling ice' warning beside the building. they are found all over the city to warn pedestrians of melting snow from the top of the buildings.)
