Chicago, Day 4. We started with a gangster tour by bus. It was cute and corny, but fun. They didn't really have much to work with, because Chicago wants to forget about its gangster history. Dion O'Bannion's flower shop, Al Capone's furniture factory, and the site of the St. Valentine's day massacre are all empty lots now. The alley where John Dillinger got shot is still an alley.

Then we took an architecture tour of downtown by boat on the Chicago River. It was very interesting. The guide was very knowledgable, and talked about all of the major buildings by the river.

We walked over to Navy Pier and rented bicycles to go ride along the lake. Jon didn't want to at first, but did it anyway because I really wanted to, and he is the Best Boyfriend Ever. We rented cruisers, and you'd think they'd be very easy bikes to control. You'd be wrong. I almost fell over a few times, and starting and stopping was not very graceful. It was awesome riding along the lake though, we did about 10 miles or so. There were a lot of people out riding or jogging or swimming or just enjoying the park. I like to see people enjoy public parks.

The last thing on the to-do list was the Museum of Stained Glass Windows. It was pretty interesting. Some of the windows were very beautiful and elaborate. Tiffany knows his stuff.

We were going to eat at Ed Debevic's, but the host was an ass so we went across the street and had some wonderfully delicious Lebanese food. We later found out that Ed's thing is apparantly to have everyone be rude. I don't think you could make a burger and shake good enough to put up with rude servers. Go to the Lebanese place instead.
