Spent three days in Chicago, September 14-16th. It had been three years since I'd been there, and there's always a lot of fun things to do in that city. The first morning I went to Urban Village Church in the River North area. It's a new church plant from the United Methodist's in the area, and was a real good place to worship. Later in the day, took the "L" train to Belmont and caught the Blue Man Group in the intimate Briair Street Theater. They were entertaining as usual. The second day went to see the Cincinnati Reds take on the Chicago Cubs in famous Wrigley Field. The night was cool and misty rain. Miserable for a baseball game. Still, it was worth seeing a part of baseball history by watching a game at Wrigley Field. The third day found me 103 stories above ground in the Chicago skyline. The famous Sears Tower now name the Willis Tower has "built out" observation decks on the 103rd floor. Pretty cool to step out on them. All in all, a decent three days to get away and enjoy the sights, sounds and food of Chicago!
