If dogs played in the NFL.
I thought this was interesting sculpture for the top of a bus stop on in the middle of the city. Few people actually see it. Looks like a race to the death.

Chicago’s one and only
Chicago’s iconic Drake Hotel. Great jazz on Thursday night in their big room. Free entrance, reasonable drinks and some people dress in 30s and 40s attire. The hotel plays host to the up and coming jazz players in the city although a well known jazz performer is not uncommon in the club and usually plays a tune or two with the young musician. Oh, best Christmas tree in the city.

Louis Vuitton
I have to hand it to Louis Vuitton. Month in and month out, the most interesting windows in the city. That business spends some money maintaining strict control of their brand. A lady in the store told me their shoppers were selective.

First Playboy digs right here in Chicago
This beautiful art deco building was home to the first Playboy club in 1960. If I can figure out how to get a link on this page, check out the photos from the sixties. Wow. http://timeoutchicago.com/things-to-do/features/14923155/the-real-playboy-club

Modernist Master, Mies van der Rohe
This building and three more nearby are considered seminal works by Mies van der Rohe. The German native turned American citizen is widely considered one the most influential architects and designers. Criticized for boxy buildings, Mies often replied less is more. His work inspired a generation of architects and continues to influence post modern design.
