Architecture
A few weeks ago we were in downtown Chicago for a nice evening dinner with some other students; quite a number of the spouses of students are living/working in other cities, so it's fun to get together with them when they're in town.
I always enjoy walking around downtown Chicago because of the architecture (headed up there soon for a conference). A number of people have told me to take the architecture boat tour, which I plan on doing one of these quarters.
Here is a low resolution shot I took of the river - note the intentional watercolor effect. ;)
Also, if you're ever on campus for a GSB visit, be sure to check out some of the other buildings nearby - especially the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS). The inside of the building is amazing; built in 1926 you feel like you stepped into a 1526 cathedral.
Here is another low res shot of side of one of the academic buildings.
