GPS found 3rd fave city in US-CHICAGO!
I just returned to NYC from a wonderful weekend in Chicago. It was my first time there and it is definitely my 3rd favorite city in the US (#1 NYC, #2 SanFran). Spent three days at Lollapalooza (http://www.lollapalooza.com/) with rain/mud for day one and scorching heat day 2/3 but we had an absolute blast. Some of the music highlights were: Kings of Leon, YeahYeahYeahs, The Killers, Santigold, Snoop Dogg and Fleet Foxes among others. Some great photos from Lollapalooza can be seen here: http://www.spin.com/gallery/best-lollapalooza-2009-live
We spent a day wandering around the city. Took a boat tour of the Chicago architecture (http://www.shorelinesightseeing.com/) which was informative and got some great photos. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Photography (http://www.mocp.org/) and I discovered a new photographer that I am very interested in, Curtis Mann. We walked around Millennium Park (http://www.millenniumpark.org/) -saw The Bean, their summer-stage like venue where a band was rehearsing, The Cancer Survivors Garden and much more. It was a perfect day.
People have been raving about Chicago for years, and I understand why! Some of my photo highlights:
