The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

This memorial was a pleasant surprize to me the other day while walking along the river. The submarine door immediately draws attention to the memorial. This historical reminder of naval service is surrounded by nicely designed sidewalks and plants. An Army veteran like myself was touched by the tribute to my naval counterparts.

A monument in the truest sense, the Elks National Memorial was built in 1926 to honor Americans whose profound sacrifices for the nation can never be recognized by mere words. With its massive dome, heroic sculptures and intricately detailed friezes, the Memorial is a distinctively American interpretation of classical greatness.

It's Picasso! If you take your time and read the story, you'll surely find something about to be amazed with. Sadly, you still can see the left overs of the vandalism few years ago, but it doesn't diminish the grandiosity of the piece. Check it out from every angle, it's worth it (along with the Miró, Chagall, Calder,... etc. you can experience as a part of the same short self-guiding walking tour). Only in Chicago!

A visit to the Millennium Park at Christmas is a delight ... That magnificent silver Bean floats over the ice rink and at Christmas there is a fantastic tree all within an easy walk from the mile and central city. Jazz bands and Christmas lights made this very special
