These pictures will probably be monopolized by The John Hancock Building and the Sears Tower, but if I had to pick the thing I love about the America the most, it would be the scyscrapers. So if you feel dizzy, tell yourself, it's only a picture. Got a headache? Have some aspirin. Got an STD? Stay the fuck away from me! I didn't give them to you!
After three hours on the highway and an hour in the suburbs we finally saw more than just a glimpse of the Chicago Skyline. The most recognisable building is the John Hancock Center. I said Cock...
On our way there, it dawned upon me that our hotel was located on the same street as The Cock-building, Madison Avenue. Our own room didn't have a great view of the city, though it did give a glimpse of what I (correctly) thought was the Sears Tower. Fortunately our 26th floor corridor had a nice view of it's on, looking north on Madison Avenue.
So me and mom headed straight out to spend some time getting acquainted with the city. We headed South on Madison, saw Millennium Park, ate some steak and made a round trip back. The rest of the pictures weren't so great. I'll just show you Millennium Park, okay?
If you think these pictures are bad, you can take my (imaginary) friend Donnie's advice and go suck a fuck. Besides, these huge ass pics were taken with my Mom's piece of crap camera. Thanks for letting me use it Mom, I love you! You probably shouldn't complain anyway as the second tallest building, The AON, is pictured in the background. Or half of it, at least.
So, that was Friday night in Chicago. The real tourism began on Saturday... With this:
Pretty impressive huh? Too bad we don't have anything that enormous in Finland. Not, if you don't count the bulge I get in my pants while watching gay porn. I mean big tits!
I could tell you all kinds of interesting stuff about The Building of Cock, but I'll let you enjoy the view without all the bullshit. You can find anything you need to know about currently Chicago's third tallest building on wikiPedia. Here's the reverse angle on my first Chicago picture.
The morning sky wasn't too clear, but anyway here's a view across the city. And a close-up to boot.
In the second pic the most notable things are The Trump tower, with all it's cranes about half the way completed, pretty much making it the second tallest building in this view (and the city) when it's completed, the round Marina City towers and, of course, the Sears tower in the background. Don't fret, we're getting to that chunk of iron and glass later. We'll get on top of it, if you know what I mean.
As you may know, Chicago is a prominent city in TV shows and movies. One of my favorite shows growing up was ER. And if I'm correct I was able to replicate a view they used pretty often on the show. Namely when they weren't standing on the roof of the hospital trying to sort things out. Maybe I got the place right.
Who's that man with a horrible fashion sense, you ask. Is he some kind of pirate? Well if downloading copyrighted material on the internet makes one a squashbuckling rogue pirate, then so be it. Yarr, ye be a pirate. While you, my friend...
You're fired.
Peek-a-boo! I love that picture. Oh, and what's that coming in to the picture on the right?
To be continued...
