    Hey Mike! Had a great time in Chicago. Your suggestions were great! I did go to Engine 98's house and one over on Wells Street (*I think that was the street) I didn't make it to Chinatown but did make it to Millennium Park, Lincoln Park, the Water Tower and Grant Park. Plus I walked all over downtown. It looks as though I will be going back again next year. Thanks again Mike.
