You are indeed blessed to have such a vantage point of Lake Michigan, Lake Shore Drive, and the Chicago skyline, PLUS you clearly have an eye for a great photo! Thank you so much for sharing! Once upon a time in the 1980s & 1990s, I visited Chicago 3 times a week (for 12 years) driving a semi pulling 2 trailers. My view was necessarily much different, but there were many weather & traffic events over those years! No accidents / no tickets, just the experience! I enjoyed your on-the-lake city, though never as a resident. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: June 18, 2011 Comments: 1149

Thanks for a great weather shot from my hometown of Chicago! Love that skyline and the open areas along the beach....a "10 FAVE" from me!
