The pizza sinks ya. Whenever someone jokes about "there is no such thing as bad pizza" I know they've never visited the Windy City. Your main redemption is Franklin Lloyd Wright. I'm not even into architecture, but I could walk around all day staring with admiration at his stuff. When we went to his house, my wife and I both said we felt magic. (Some dudes were pouring us stiff drinks there, so maybe there was something in it.) Unfortunately, the last time I visited your wonderful city (which I do love), I had convinced my mom and stepdad to go with us, as they are scared to go to big cities by themselves, and as we were walking back to our hotel after dinner one night, she spotted two dudes necking and rubbing each other's assholes through their pants and the rest of the trip was...quiet. Lol well yeah that sort of thing is normal there. Did you take them to the Sears Tower skydeck and have them stand out in the clear plastic box where below you is the street. It is freaky. I did it twice and I’m scared of heights. I got vertigo in it the second time. No, out of the four of us, I am the only one not afraid of heights. (My mom once gifted my wife and I with a balloon ride and my wife swears she did it to be cruel. My wife literally sat down in the bottom of the basket and refused to look out. When we landed finally in someone's yard, four friendly retrievers ran up to her as if they "knew" she needed comfort. I have a picture still somewhere of her with her arms on two of them and the other two sitting around her.) We took them to museums and art galleries, mostly. And Navy Pier of course because I knew they were getting bored with all the art and that kind of touristy environment makes them feel happy. |

Looking at those pictures makes me happy. Whenever I visit, I always take the train in. |

What's wrong with two dudes necking and rubbing each other's asshole? For me, personally? Nothing. I love it. I went right back to the hotel and took "a shower." My mom was just flustered because of the germs, I think. They weren't washing their hands. |

Yeah, I was still on the first page and did a spontaneous response without reading the rest of the thread. Did you know that some people think he was also Jack the Ripper? |

You sure you weren't in San Francisco? I am sure. Their pier is way better than Chicago's. |
