Away by the Bay
Gone off to San Francisco for the weekend, while Devyn goes off to spend some quality time with his best friend in New York. Our separate trips peg well our common proclivities. We both live in Chicago, the third-most densely settled city in America. Where do we go to get away from it all? The most and second-most densely settled cities in America.
Some people don’t believe that we label anywhere north of North Avenue a day trip. When you can walk to anything you need to buy or want to do in the center of things, going out of downtown is definitely going out of your way. So why bother leaving downtown save for an even better downtown?
A pretty good match, us, I think.

'I was in a bilevel Burger King, with the dining room squeezed in downstairs from the order counter. I ordered something I don't remember and a large Pepsi. I really don't know what happened. A tremor? A foot slip? But there I was walking downstairs watching my soda tumble end over end in slow motion in front of me.'
It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature. Just ask Matt B. (aka 'Polomex'), scribe of the Chicago Traveler blog and current refugee from the onslaught of the Gulf Coast's pesky new resident, Hurricane Gustav.
He won't admit it, but it had to happen sooner or later. My great modernist boyfriend, cool to a fault and no friend to commercialism, is getting into our upcoming trip to Disneyland. (No, Disneyland.)
