Took the flight early yesterday from Los Angeles to Chicago. I am here! Finally, a place I could travel through buses and an efficient light rail system! Chicago… also known as:

1. Gotham City. And having just seen The Dark Knight, I am quite psyched for exploration!
2. Home to Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. Incidentally, I just received from my aunt (whose place I am staying in) my highly anticipated hardbound copy of the book.
3. 
   (Some might remember this as music from Little Miss Sunshine)

Where I stayed in California and Nevada, it was spacious, clean and serene. In this neighborhood, streets are smaller, some houses are quite old, and graffiti is everywhere - sordid little hints of the presence of gangs in the near vicinities. This is a place with something to tell. What’s not to love?

And by the way, that rhetorical question is written with some trepidation :D
