Title: Chicago 2010
Post by: sheldor on September 09, 2010, 05:30:59 PM
Over Labor Day, I spent 5 days in Chicago and around the area.   Way too much to do and too little time.  Here are some photos,  More on flickr but you will need to send me an email so I can add you to my friends list.

I thought it was a 'bobble' other then the fact it isn't perfectly spherical.

(see Vernor Vinge's Across Realtime from 1986 - A bobble is basically a stasis sphere)
