another touristy photo

We walked around downtown and found a place open late for dinner. Some chain called “Rock Bottom” – and it was great. (We try to avoid chains, but hey – their kitchen didn’t close until midnight and there isn’t one in St. Louis. so fuck it – we relaxed on the anti-mono-culture schtick and went in). If you have one of these near you – I highly recommend – it was the best damn food I’ve ever had in a franchise establishment.

We took the long way back to the hotel, walking along the river and taking it all in.

“Chicaaaago… Chicaaaago… My Kinda town”

Do you think that song was an early example of product placement by the hands of a travel and tourism board?

While I don’t really think it’s “my kinda town” – it sure is an interesting place to visit.
It’s a big, dirty, compact place. But that in and of itself is sorta exciting. I get the impulse to just crawl around and sniff out every little nook and cranny (of them – there’s thousands).

If you’re an architecture freak, this place is a candy store…. Not that I’m blogging about it or anything.
