Starts with a 'C', ends with an 'o', and in the middle there's a 'hicag'

I was in Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend. What a wonderful city!









It was a holiday, so LaSalle was quiet.




I'm told that the sign is controversial among Chicagoans, for obvious reasons. Ownership aside, the building is magnificent.






















Giordanos!










Nathan Hale.






Requisite.

Great shots even best shots ever except I didn't catch your point of title, what so special about "hicag" to highlight?

Yes those giant TRUMPs are synonyms for supercilious and self-conceited, why didn't he think about the feelings of the people?

I was there for a wedding out in La Grange. The weather was nearly perfect for those three days, wasn't it? Unfortunately, three days was not nearly enough time to explore; I think I only experienced a fraction of what the city has to offer (though I'm reasonably confident that I already found Chicago's best pizza!)

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! The title is an old line from the Saturday Night Live "Superfans" sketch. No particular reason for it, other than that it randomly came to mind when creating this thread.

Chicago is always fascinating.

Thanks for you brilliant pictures of the Windy City. Great tour. I see you enjoyed a wonderful weather there and at less one deep dish pizza.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.
