chicago [ a visit. a trip. an adventure. ]
A getaway.
I love to explore.
Especially with natives.
Had a fun long weekend in Chicago with Lisa.
When I visit a place I have little to no interest in tourist activities, recommended zagat restaurants
or the exhibit on rotation at the Met.
I want to go where the locals go, eat what the locals eat, and drink what the locals drink.
Dean sent me these iphone shots :
Petal was apparently doing ok without me, hanging with just the guys (3 males - 1 human, 1 dog, 1 cat).
Meanwhile, in Chicago…
A highlight of my visit was awesome The Violet Hour.
Prohibition era inspired, this dimly-lit, heavy-curtained cocktail lounge is identifiable only
by the unmarked purple wall on its exterior.
A Steph kind of place.
hear! hear!
Also picked up a few goodies at the Buffalo Exchange.
Stay tuned for those in the coming weeks!
oh and p.s. just obtained ownership of the url for the new blog.
hoping to get that launched in the next few months!
