Here I am in The Windy City, and I will tell you it is FREEZING! Tony and I are in town to do some book signings and movie screenings. But, I had a few hours off and decided to get out and see some sights...
I found myself on State Street-
that great street, I just want to say, they do things they don't do on Broadway... Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town...
We were up in the Trump Tower for some press. Look at that view! You can see where the Chicago river flows into Lake Michigan. Did you know that the name Chicago came from a French translation of Native American word,
shikaakwa, which means "
wild onion"?
I went outside to get a closer view of the Chicago River...
Here is a plaque commemorating the French explorer
La Salle's journey down the river in December 1681. They must have been so cold in their wet buckskins!
Here is the site of
Fort Dearborn, built in 1803. It's right off of the river and Michigan avenue.
Plaques in the street and sidewalk show where the fort actually stood.
Sally and I went
into the fort to see if we cold get warm. We couldn't...

St Nicholas is the Anglican parish church of Blakeney, Norfolk, in the deanery of Holt and the Diocese of Norwich. It stands just inland from, and about 30 m (100 ft) above, the small port. Of the original 13th-century building only the chancel remains, the rest having been rebuilt in the prosperous 15th century; the chancel may have survived owing to its link to the nearby friary. Unusual architectural features include a second tower, used as a beacon, at its east end, a stepped seven-light window in the chancel, and a hammerbeam roof in the nave. Much of the original church furniture was lost in the Reformation, but a late-Victorian restoration recreated something of the original appearance, as well as repairing and refacing the building. Nine Arts and Crafts windows by James Powell and Sons are featured on the east and south sides of the church, and the north porch has two modern blue-themed windows.rental accommodation hervey bayAcura AC Compressor
