Part 11 in a 16-part stately series pictorially documenting the Sojourn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Post: Iowa<\/a>
\nActual Previous State: Wisconsin<\/a><\/p>\n

They’re really into the whole Lincoln thing in Illinois:
\n<\/p>\n

I, on the other hand, am really into that whole Ray Bradbury thing in Waukegan:
\n<\/p>\n

Emily liked the space-age swingsets:
\n<\/p>\n

The ravine from Dandelion Wine<\/i>:
\n<\/p>\n

Really nifty explanation of the renaming of the park for Ray:
\n<\/p>\n

Skyline of Chicago:
\n<\/p>\n

Skyline from US Cellular Field (frmrly New Comiskey):
\n<\/p>\n

I’m not exactly clear on what the pinwheel thing is on the South Side, but they seem to be into it:
\n<\/p>\n

Right after some home-run fireworks:
\n<\/p>\n

You can putitontheboard – yes!
\n<\/p>\n

Blue tower near the Magnificent Mile:
\n<\/p>\n

A river runs through it:
\n<\/p>\n

Emily was unconvinced that this building was all that tall:
\n<\/p>\n

I can’t believe they’re trying to rename the Sears Tower – it doesn’t seem to be sticking with any of the locals:
\n<\/p>\n

The Sears\/Willis Tower was really a fan of the 2016 Olympic bid, though:
\n<\/p>\n

I’m pretty convinced – it’s tall:
\n<\/p>\n

Guess what – another Union Station!
\n<\/p>\n

Emily with her namesake, or at least one rendition:
\n<\/p>\n

Perfect blue buildings?
\n<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure these were in the establishing shot for the Bob Newhart Show:
