tp, you are acting like a kid around Christmas.

Now if only you had time to discover the real Chicago.

Enjoy!

Oprah & Michael Jordan love Chicago! Southwest Air now loves it too, baby!

Hi Tom! I had the pleasure to live in Chicago for a year. I love Chicago, too. It's far Superior to New York, in my humble opinion. Happy Holidays!

Unfortunately, I've never been to Chicago.

My Five Favoriate Cities: New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Dallas, Atlanta.

What are yours?

michael, right on. Been on the road forever. Had an afterenoon to wander, street music great, weather great, street energy phenomenal; only a grouchy traffic cop broke the spefll--I'd love to be a traffic cop, turn it into opera!

San Francisco, London, Paris, Florence, Boston, New York, Sydney, Madrid, D.C. (I think.)

Let us not overlook Baghdad or Kabul – granted no 1st class accommodations quite yet, but what history!

Who, Tom, is your best guess to be the first to setup operations in either -- to mark the first step of a miracle mile (Halliburton don't count)?

Let’s just be a little uncomfortable that 62 died today, OK? Let’s please go on with our great lives, our great missions, but not become so isolated to the fact that there is a horrific war going on . . . and “The Man of the Year” is its author.

Branding in Baghdad: America the . . .(fill in the word Tom).

Ok, we are free to complain about bad service at Walgreen’s an AA again.

michael - the "author" is bin Laden and perversity of ISLAM: sexist/racist/lazy/idiots/devils - plus the low-IQ - [no] heart clogged Clintonians - focus on interns rather than international order for 8 key years of neglect and impeachment.

On my first business visit (from the UK) a couple of years back I was hanging out at the Nike store as the Thursday night runners warmed up. Later that evening one of them saw me again on the Mag Mile said hello, took the time to stop for a chat and invited me to join them next time I visit . A great city with great people.

tom, right on - problem is one can't discover the "real" anything on one free afternoon.

Perhaps that's why you're a tad out of touch.

Perhaps Freeman, we both should have prefaced our comments with "In my humble opinion,"

The sexist/racist/lazy/idiots/devils (boy if that doesn't qualify for lunitic/fringe) who long for their 14 virgins now numbers in the 10 million+ vs. maybe a few thousand pre 9/11.

Low IQ? - Bush to a tee.

Sorry all for going off topic. It won't happen again -- it really brings out the nut cases!!!

REDUX! My Five Favoriate Cities: New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Dallas, BOSTON!

michael - yes they are lunatic fringe - that is the main threat to great cities like CHICAGO. Luckily the Harvard MBA president is adept at dealing with it. Those of us that live in Washington, D.C. especially appreciate no USA attacks since 9/11.

Too much traffic. 80-94 interchange is my personal hell.

Cleveland.

freeman - I live in DC (well MD anyway) - schooled in the windy city - and work for the military - so there is some hope! What's a boy Gore?

Michael - now an independent since they made liberalism perverse!
