Why it's a Hummer limousine. Only in America. *fake laugh*
Here's Johnny! Again.
After a little sip of Coke me and my mom (and fifty strangers) took a boat ride on The Chicago River. You know what's coming. Just enjoy.
Please, remember to breath.
That building, while not as tall as others, is actually the 5th largest building in the world and second only to the Pentagon in the U.S..
Sears mate!
What's that building you say? Well, our very informative cruise director told us that up on the penthouse of that building one Al Capone held several parties. Other fun fact from the tour: The Chicago River is the only river in the world in which the direction of the flowing water has been succesfully reversed. A crazy bunch, those
So, here's a story. On the boat we heard that the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight, was currently being filmed in the city. After the cruise we headed to the tallest building in America and on the way we saw 'a set' where the filming was occuring that day. I wasn't allowed to take a picture of the scene they were shooting in front of the Chicago Board of Trade Building but this is a movie car I saw a block before we passed the set.
The scene was comprised of the huge building in the background and a bunch of cops standing in formation listening to someone (supposedly Harvey Dent played by Aaron Eckhart) give a speach. Don't believe me? Fine I'll show you.
In the bottom left corner of this picture is the alleged police officers and Art Deco Building in front of them is the Trade Building I wrote about earlier. So there, jog on!
So, that's settled. Fortunately, there are some good pictures in here.
That's just beautiful, let's take another look at that.
So, that was our trip to Chicago basically. Another night and then on Sunday we headed out of town. I'll make Sunday's odyssey and the rest of my trip into the last megapost of this blog.
Here's an artsy-fartsy picture to send you off. Please notice the domey United Center near the center of this picture.
