As Chicago is my favourite place on the trip so far this can only be good news. This time I am stopping at Oak 112 which is in the Gold Coast area of the city.
again a lovely old house but this time completely modernised inside giving a fresh contemporary feel - nice.
I bought the sunshine with me so set off into the city for a little retail therapy and gift shopping.
Of course, suffering from Bluebird Tea withdrawal I immediately headed to the next best thing - Argo Tea, for a refreshing iced chai (now my firm favourite).
As Oak 112 didn't have a PC I could use to update the blog they recommended I visit the Central Library where PC use is FREE - so I jumped on the 'L' and made a bee line.
The Central Library is huge and absolutely beautiful - inside and out ......
Disappointment of the day - Union Station was used for the famous 'pram running away down the stairs' scene in the file The Untouchables (Kevin Costner). So I went to get a picture of the Grand Staircase - this is how it looked in the film .................
Unhappy Face! Not impressive at all and very narrow and small.
7.30 start in the morning for Charlottesville.
