SuzieQ Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted June 22, 2015 I'm in Chicago and really wish I had not decided to add on extra days to my business training. I only just got here and I want to be home. Maybe traveling alone is just not for me anymore.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted June 22, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2015 Hmmm...that skyline looks familiar. No salt in it...hence, no ocean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted June 22, 2015 Share #13 Posted June 22, 2015 Theres a lot of things to like about Chicago. But there's more reasons why I dont want to work, or even travel down to Illinois any more. If you get a chance, take a Chicago architecture river boat tour.http://www.viator.com/tours/Chicago/Chicago-Architecture-River-Cruise/d673-5580ARCOr rent a bike and ride along the lakeshore trail. This rental place is located at Navy pier, another place worth seeing.http://bikechicago.com/bikerentals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw cruisers along the lake that you seem to be able to pick up and drop off in different areas - no helmets, but I shall live dangerously.....

Kzoo Posted June 22, 2015 Share #20 Posted June 22, 2015 Trucks and vehicles with trailers are not allowed on LS Drive. Ask me how I know this? And after the blizzard of a could years ago, I'm surprised they allow busses on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after the blizzard of a could years ago, I'm surprised they allow busses on there. Any truck we used to work anywhere in the city needed to have a permit in the window. We could access anywhere we needed to go, LSD, museum campuses, park/bike paths, etc. OK, maybe I wont miss working in the city THAT much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted June 23, 2015 Share #26 Posted June 23, 2015 my view from my training today - feel better about being here today. The river that runs backwards. Also known as the river that will ruin Lake Michigan (and maybe the rest as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
