The Chicago Spire

Ok, winter is starting to drag.

So . . . it's time to start thinking about Chicago as another port on the Great Lakes to enjoy. After all, we don't expect to be here much in the summer, so any posts about Chicago will have to be while we are "weathered in" over the winter.

So, that's what we' ll do . . . start posting about the great port of Chicago and some of the things you can do or see here - even in the winter.

First up: the Chicago Spire. Since it's being built just across the river from us, we have a great view of it from our living room window. Phil - who may just have a little too much time on his hands during winter - started a web site devoted to watching the Spire being built. If you're interested in seeing construction photos of the Chicago Spire, you can see them at Building the Spire.
