First off, remember my tours! I am now giving the Pedway tour three times a week with a different part of the Pedway each day! Check out the “tours” tab up there and come see me! Cool. Now, on a freezing cold day such as this one, it is a relief to get what I need [...] I don’t win things: contests, raffles, children’s party games…but at an event the other night, my luck was with me and I won a free night at the Intercontinental Hotel. Yay me! Certainly I’ve heard about the pool and like most Chicagoans, I am more than familiar with the top of the building. When [...] Over the weekend I watched Unsolved History – The Chicago Fire.

The tallest building in the world has opened it’s doors and I for one might pee myself a little. The Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith when he worked at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It’s finally released height is 2,717 feet, almost twice the [...] I grew up on the North Shore; no, we didn’t go racing around in our very own Porsches or go on $1,000 shopping sprees.
