Make no little plans


Took the Porter flight from Toronto City Centre Airport to Midway, Chicago. Rode the Orange Line train to Roosevelt on the loop and walked to our hotel. Tickets $2.25 each. Walked to State Street and scored a history book about Butte, Montana for 25 cents, in the discarded section of Chicago Public Library. Early supper at the Artist's Snack Shop at the Fine Arts Building on South Michigan Avenue. Formerly Studebaker carriage showroom and workshops. Tea and carrot cake while watching the Gatornationals drag racing from Florida on TV. Pic by ALT.
