Hats off to all you guys in the Windy City. My wife and I spent several days over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago and we were so impressed with the cleanliness of the entire city. The friendliness of everyone from the merchants to the bus drivers was impressive. We decided to take the 146 to the Field Museum and Soldier Field on Saturday and caught the bus on the wrong side of Michigan Ave and Ohio, which meant we traveled the "entire" 146 route! I would never have thought a city as large as Chicago could be so clean and friendly. Furthermore, the weather was absolutely beautiful. I hope some of you guys got your Cobra's out for a cruise over the holiday weekend.

We spent several nights at the Doubletree downtown and made our way to all the tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. that we could stand in our short stay. We will be back again so we can catch one of the Cubs or Sox games (sorry about the loss on Sunday to the Phillies). Tickets to the Cubs game were going for $150 or so for $85 face value tickets but that is what happens when you find yourself on top. Hopefully, you guys will get another star on your flag after October!

We had a great time and will be back. Thank you Chicago!!!!
