Back to Chi town, part 2

Friday was for downtown and the rehearsal
On my drive to Rosemont, I got stopped by a freight train on Stearns Rd
Some things truly never change
Blue line from Rosemont
There was the slightest chill outside
Only fitting weather for springtime in Chicago

First stop was Do-Rite donuts in the Theater district
Cinnamon raised
Meyers lemon pistachio
Milk
Headed to the Riverwalk to enjoy the view and the first donut
Chicago Vietnam Memorial was there also
The plan was to visit the Museum of Broadcast Communications at 10 am, when they opened.
It was only 9:15 at the time, so I had a little while to kill.
Walked up the Magnificent Mile and Michigan Ave
Saw way too many Cubs logos
Clear day
360 Chicago observatory, formerly just the Hancock tower
Took loads of photographs
Walked back south to Kidzie St
Museum of Broadcast Communications is closed till late May
So I decided it was time to eat again.
Piece for New Haven style pizza
Bacon, clams, and roasted peppers
Absolutely divine
Took the train to the Museum campus
Photos
JP Graziano
Mr. G sandwich
Good to be recognized
Blue line back to my car

Drove to the Alpine Chapel for the wedding rehearsal
Finished off the cinnamon donut in the parking lot
Rehearsal dinner at Onion Pub
Burgers, brats, chicken breasts, chips, veggies, and cookies
Plenty of meat
Maybe 50 of us
Saw Lindsay and Natalie again
Got my gifts from the groom
Tie and socks 
Star Wars tie
Ironic considering I've never seen any of the films
