when i was a kid we visited some family over there

We were on a tour and the bus almost touched the buildings, because the roads were so very narrow. I took this from the bus.

Amazing! God is amazing!

Wow! Isn't my God awesome! How great thou art!

Yes.....it was very difficult to walk on the lava.

Hi Sunbeams. I was first blown away by the Robie House when I saw it in a college architecture class so when I was in Chicago and saw it on a tour it was a must-see. It's hard to imagine how a building almost 100 years old can be so contemporary...even modern.

Thanks too for filling in the details.

You think we'll get the Olympics?

And now that President Obama has been elected (he's from Hyde Park) I am sure Chicago will get some Federal money. Why not? Every President always helped the state or city they lived in before they were elected, so when their term was up, they could retire to that city in style. Regardless, Chicago is amazing!
