Chicago obviously has much more to offer than Lollapalooza, and this trip over the last week marked my first time in the city. Fondly known as the Second City, Chicago has more than a few residents who will readily admit the city's own little-brother complex, always ready to be a step behind or a buck short (Cubs fans in particular, it seems). Still, though I heard more than one native Chicagoan say -- with some amount of envy -- "It ain't New York" this past week, Chicago has nothing to be coy about. It's a sterling city whether you look at it on its own or in comparison to any other city in the world.
A stunning skyline, a rich history, a vibrant culture -- Chicago's got those in spades. The streets of the city may not have the familiarity or sex appeal of a city like New York, but believe you me, walk down any one of them and you can find something that stimulates, stuns, or demands your attention. Here are some things from the trip that did just that for me.
Where's Waldo?
