Why I love this city.
As I was walking down one of the streets in downtown Chicago, I somehow noticed a guy carrying a cooler. There was nothing unusual about the guy whatsoever, until he decided to put his cooler down on the ground, open it up, start dancing, and singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" at full volume. He had quite a good voice, too, but that's beside the point.

Yep, I love this place.

2. I'm pretty sure it was empty.
He set it there for people to toss spare change into as we passed by.

3. I love your city too.
I am from Durham NC, but I have visited Chicago several times--visited the Art Institute, stayed at the Allerton, went to Navy Pier, shopped, ate at some great restaurants. All the touristy stuff.

I love your city too! And its history. And its architecture.

Your story was great too!

:hi:

4. Not to mention it went for Kerry by 82-18%
Name me one other place in America that was that heavy for Kerry. I guarantee no place was that one-sided for the dumbass.

So why can't we get AAR in this town? Makes no sense to me.

5. They built that city on rock 'n roll. Thanks, Starship,
for clearing that up.

8. I love the architecture,
those little enclaves of ethnic groups where I found the best restaurants, the museums, the comedy clubs! I need to go back. :)
