Chicago Live!

I've got to admit, after being in the suburbs yesterday, I started to rethink our return to Chicago. Not that we'd live in the land of baby strollers and Christmas sweaters. But looking around, I was bothered by all stupidity I saw - and heard (there is coolness to be found - just not around most corners). Besides that, it just seemed that everything was so average. As I told Chris on the phone while I rode the escalator to the second floor in Nordstrom, "I don't think I can be surrounded by all of this."
