Chicago Skyline on a Darkening Day

I have to find better yet take more pictures of the Chicago Skyline during sunset. This one was an old picture I found, hopefully I'll update it soon.

A Magnificent Mile Shop

Crate&Barrel is one of the many well recognized stores on the Magnificent Mile. Be careful shopping there though. I recall a time I went in and there was a table set up with glasses all stacked up in a pyramid. I almost broke them all! Good thing I caught the a base glass in time and avoided a MAJOR embarrassing moment.

The Magnificent Mile at Dusk

A typical Chicago tourist activity is to walk the magnifent mile (Michigan Avenue) and window shop, if you have the cash, even better. All along the mile-run avenue you'll find trendy shops and restaurants.

Many thanks for the viewers of this blog and providing the name of the church in the background. The Fourth Presbyterian Church rests in the heart of the magnificent mile it's a beautiful landmark

Ahhh the ol' Water Tower

Chicago Street Performance

Is it a statue? Nope Mr. robot man deserves a tip in his box. During warm weather you may be lucky to come across these street performers especially near the Water Tower.
