Chi-Town 36

No disrespect to the riverwalk down in Milwaukee (I'd pay homage to the Rock Bottom Brewery along the famous route any day), but the Chicago walkway system is quite a scene, as river taxis chug up and down the Chicago River, and goliath buildings, sleek and shining in the sun, rise up as if from the banks of the water itself.  Large cities are almost always unusual experiences on weekends – the entire cast of standard workers monday through friday gone, cities tend to be full of tourists and often large pockets of blocks without anybody around.  Walking around the city by yourself, back and forth over the walking bridges, the real city presents itself.
