Also a crowd controller.)
Her lingerie appears to be fabric, but I didn't want to investigate too closely and be accused of being a creeper.
Marilyn was the last destination on our tour. We were there not to see France or underpants, but to take the Chicago Architectural Foundation's boat tour. Really. Here's what it looked like:
The Wrigley Building.
Reminds me of Metropolis, Clark Kent and spearmint gum.
The Chicago Tribune's billboard: "Now with broader shoulders."
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing
so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.

Carl Sandburg's poem Chicago is almost 100 years old. And with the exception of the hog butcher part, I do believe it still rings true.

The architectural boat tour is one of my favorite things to do in the city, particularly when they take you out on the lake to see the skyline. It's the best.
I love the tour too, except that I get a terrible stiff neck looking up for all that time!
Love the pictures!
Great photos. Look like postcards.
You certainly have been hitting the sights this summer. Very nice!
