hithertokt asked:
Are you originally from Chicago or do you hail from other parts? [Random aside: I've been there only once, in March of 2008, and I've never been so cold in my life. But I won a poster at the Sears Tower. Somehow it evened out..]
Chicity, born and raised. Technically I am currently in the burbs, but we’ll disregard that.
From October - April it can pretty much feel like all four seasons wrapped up into one day. If you ever return be sure that you come early June or late August. Those are the best! The city is pretty awesome when you can travel about without a parka.
I’m glad you at least won a souvenir, that makes things a little better.
