Hey hey, whattya say...
Visit DG on Saturday?

The signage still up at the Palmer House? I saw a story in the Trib a few days back about the dismantling. Who knows, you might even be able to talk your way into the place to get a shot of the Palm at the bar..

Comiskey
United Center
Sears Tower
Berghoff
Trader Vic's
Art Institute
Soldier Field
Shedd Aquarium
Buckingham Fountain
Millenium Park
Navy Pier
Chicago River
Wrigley Field

Joe's (not sure where to put this because I don't know where it is.)
And you could get a picture of him at the Demon Dog spot too, it's near the Brown Line I believe, on your trip north out of Downtown to Wrigley.

(and since he is such a clown, you could get a picture of him in front of the Second City Theatre too..)

This list is in order as of right now. I'm not sure what time we are going to start at Comiskey. We have a photographer; Down2TheC (Thank you!!!) who will have GPS, laptop and digital camera in hand! The plan is for us to be able to show the pics at the phlocking later on in the day and we will have CD's available to burn the photos on if you would like. It might be a good idea to wait until after Saturday night and add pics of the phlocking to the CD and make it all encompassing.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and if anyone is interested in going for just part of the tour, please let us know. We will figure out a way to include everyone that wants to be involved. Thanks everyone!!!!
Dang! You guys are ambitious! I've lived here my entire life - almost 40 years, and haven't been to half of the places on the list... and the ones I have, mostly once or twice!

Yes I am a country mouse...
200 years too late!

I changed the list a bit for ease of grouping.

How so? I thought their first list was fine... BHA lives in the region, I'm sure he knows all the locations just fine...

And there is no more Demon Dogs.

Mine is just a "Start from the south, work north" thing.

We will be starting from the south at Comiskey(maybe lunch at Jimbo's for you WSox fans) but I want to end up near 290, heading toward DG. I was thinking it was going to be more like an inverted U. Start south and get some of the things near the lake, head north on LSD, and come back to get Joe's and finish near the Sears Tower so the UC is on the way out of town. Also, the Harlem Globetrotters are at the UC Saturday with 2 shows, 1 and 7, so we need to be there between those. Thanks for the input and keep the suggestions coming.

How about a picture with Micheal Jordan's statue?

I think that's what the plan is at the United Center....correct me if I'm wrong BHA but I believe that's the intent.

BHA: check the posting times.....GPHMTA!

That is definitely the reason for going to the UC. I also forgot one more place Nicole suggested, in Cicero or Berwyn, not too far from Portillo's, at a parking lot at a mall.

I didn't put it on the list because I wasn't sure if that was a definite or not.
