Chicago blues

There's a few stories coming out of Chicago the last few days that have me missing the ease we enjoyed of hopping in the car -- or on the train -- and spending a day in the big city ... 

This weekend, a set for the next Transformers installment has taken up residence on a section of Michigan Avenue ...

Then there's the giant eyeball, which isn't a new story, but I'm reeeeeally wanting to see it ...

And now this: How unbelievably cool would it be to spend 30 days living in the Museum of Science & Industry!?!
