I’m an NYC girl at heart,
but I think Chicago definitely gives New York a run for its money. SO CLEAN,
like a less corrupt, less dark, more architecturally interesting Gotham City.
Oh and no Batman boo.
Beautiful buildings and
above ground subway stations! It was very inspiring to just walk around the
streets, admiring everything. Also ate my way through the weekend, deep
dish pizza, hot dogs, burgers, milkshakes, you name it. I was very thankful for
how the city is so sprawling, negated some of that caloric intake with walking
I hope.
Park oasis in the midst of a metropolis
Outdoor amphitheater
Really enjoyed the tour of
the Robie House and refreshed my knowledge of Frank Lloyd Wright. Entrances are
hidden away, prominent horizontal lines, his circle in a square signature, I
like observing what I studied in reality, a confirmation that my classes were
worthwhile haha. I especially enjoyed experiencing FLW’s implementation of
“compression and release”. Walking from the cold and low ceilinged entranceway
into the airy and spacious living/dining room was almost theatrical.
Inviting wanderers to explore the rest of the house...
It was a lovely weekend
trip, left enough to see and do for a future trip.
