things i'll miss about chicago
being able to call my brother spontaneously to get together for dinner and a walk along the lake with Dame Tessera
the junk trucks!!
our amazing skyline... always a sight to behold
the Shedd Aquarium and Brookfield Zoo
Chicago-style hot dogs
beach volleyball during summer - save me a spot from time to time, y'all
Buckingham Fountain on a hazy, 80-degree summer evening
glorious thunder/lightening storms
free Tuesdays at the Art Institute
walking down Michigan Avenue
all the Mexican neighborhoods and their spirit
the Botanic Garden and Ravinia Park in the summertime (I will have to come for at least one concert this summer!)
Long Grove Village - if you've never gone, you must go
Frango mints at Marshall Field's - and I hope they don't change the name to Macy's!
Taste of Heaven and Ann Sathers - sigh... I hope I can find breakfasty places like those in Nashvegas
biking through the Skokie Lagoons
spending time with you

also, i miss lincoln park -- the conservatory, the zoo, the gardens. and the statue. :)
and delaera used to be one of the things i missed about chicago, but no longer... maybe delara will now be the first thing i miss about tennessee. ;-)

There's no city like Chicago, D. But I can hook you up with a couple of great breakfasty places in Nashvegas. They even have toast.

aw...
the thing about marshall field's for me, though, is all about the name. i remember going there as a kid and ordering hot chocolate and cookies with my parents. so, it's just an identity thing. "a rose by any other name..." i know - but still, field's is field's! now, they could use some of the macy's influence.

things chicago will miss about delara:
having coffee with her
strolling aimlessly through evanston on a summer night with her
women's night in her oh-so-comfy basement
anything in her oh-so-comfy basement.
i'm still compiling, but on another note, this whole Marshall Field's turning into Macy's thing. I'm okay with it. Last time I was at Macy's their petites section had way more to offer me than Marshall Field's. If I could have, I would have told the powers that be at Marshall Fields, that not all petite women are old.
