Oh! The Places You Will Go!

Well, I can add another airport and, thanks to the dumbasses at MapQuest, two more states to the places I've been.

In this super short I'm-doing-this-so-I-don't-get-out-of-the-habit post, all I can say is if your first impression of Chicago is the neon-lit tunnel that takes you out to the cabs and busses, then it's fucking awesome. The oddly bent and twisted neon tubes, flashing on and off for a modern art-deco feel made me think this is a place for good times and not the gritty, hard-panned, fight for everything city I've imagined it to be. If only I could have spent more time there than I did and experience more than the airport and toll-roads. Maybe someday.

And now I've been in Illinois and Indiana. I can say Gary has to be one of the saddest places I've ever driven through. But it's still not as horrible as Rock Springs, Wyoming. That place is a bonafide shit hole and I'm pretty sure if I go to hell it's going to look like Rock Springs.
