So I was at a Department of Labor conference in Chicago. I wish I’d had more time to explore the old neighborhoods, since my grandfather and his family are from Chicago. I was able to get in a six mile walk the first afternoon I was there, starting at my hotel, the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile, then down Michigan Avenue, across to Lakeshore Boulevard, then back up along the lake. The weather was in the low 60s – actually wished I’d brought a sweater!
Here’s what I saw:

What a photo op of a walk. 60s would make me need a sweater as well. Anything below 70 and I get chilly.
Yeah, it was great all the way around!
