Illinois

Sure, it's home to big, brash Chicago, but there are a lot of lower-key historic and natural charms, too, including sites related to Abe Lincoln and Lewis and Clark (not to mention, more recently, Barack).

Hi, all!  I'm heading to Chicago in the coming days to do some writeups for Tripatini.  Any travel/tourism tips/contacts most appreciated!

Last week's Fields of Dreams report celebrated the century anniversary of baseball's oldest park. Today, it's a younger stadium...only 98. On The World on Wheels, we update the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field with...count 'em...five pricing tiers AND dynamic pricing. You'd have thunk they were the world champions or something: http://tinyurl.com/247fu9u

That's what they say Ed - and the politicians are still the windiest thing in the state!

Darryl, that's quite a story about the Library Station. No matter how often it happens to you and Tim, I'm sure it's always irritating. Is it true that the Windy City got its nickname -- not from the winds blowing off the lake, but from some turn-of-the-century blowhard politicians?

Galena is definately one of the prettiest spots in Illinois!

Only 3 hours from Chicago is the amazing historic town of Galena IL.   Voted one of the best small towns in the US, Galena offers museums, historic sites, amazing architecture, wineries, shops, fine restaurants, world class golf and many outdoor activities.   Join us at The Steamboat House for exceptional lodging only 1 1/2 blocks from downtown Galena.   Stay July 8 & 9, and receive with our compliments a certificate for a vineyard tour, tasting, and wine purchase!   www.thesteamboathouse.com

Well, after being in Reno, Nevada for the past few years I have come back to my home state of Illinois.  Can't wait to take the train into the Windy City! Beautiful, beautiful Chicago.
