Some of what I (love) and miss about Chicago ...
Sand volleyball on Lake Michigan
Taking the 151 downtown at all hours
Running along the lake
My 10th story view and rooftop pool
Vietnamese food in Uptown
Walking my friends dog in Andersonville
Duffys, Yackzies, Matisse, the Vu, Monsignior Murphys and other neighborhood bars
Mike and Joe at Joes on Weed Street
the church crew and small group session at the coffee shop
sitting at Belmont Starbucks with the Sunday paper
Southport Corridor
Good Thai food
Summer festivals - street festivals
Sluggers on a random week night or afternoon after a game
Cards/Cubs games
The bleachers
Running through Wrigleyville in a Puljols shirt
Borders and Ballys on Broadway
$1 burgers and beer nights
The el
My way friendly doormen who always knew how to brighten my day
Chicken Satay at the Thai place on Sheridan
Joys Noodles
Driving on lower Wacker
My job
Geneva, St. Charles, the Fox River
Big buildings
Plays and Second City
Nicks, Piece, Lucky's and Northside Cafe in Wicker Park
The art shows in the random Wicker Park lofts
Whiskey Sky
Rush and Division
Crazy nights with cops, boys from other countries, and boys with nice biceps who used to play baseball
Martinis and trying new drinks at Clybar because a friend bartended there
My sisters
The diversity
Biking along the lake
Being an hour from Milwaukee, two hours from Michigan beaches, and a 30 minute plane ride home
