Chicago is only 7-8 hours from Columbus, Ohio by car. It takes less than a minute to fly there by plane. (With the time change, you can even land before you take off!)
Chicago is a fun city. Even on a cold spring morning. 
Tall building and a river make for a great city. 
But what I really love is the colorful design you find tucked away. 
And people moving. 
And trains. I love trains. 
And watching tourists have fun at the bean. 
Or just relaxing along the lakeside. 
Or riding along. 
Or trekking. 
Not all people are as active. These guys were just standing there. So serious! 
Or ready for battle. 
Even the patterns in stuff you find is cool. 
Or the lines of the underpass. 
For a city that’s been around 180 years, Chicago is in pretty good shape!
