my favorite place...



I love to visit old train stations and one of my favorites is Union Station in Chicago.  The character, design and aura of days gone by captivates me.  As soon as I walk through the door, my imagination soars.  There is amazing design and detail in every nook and cranny.

I see the wear on steps and imagine the people who have walked them.  Close your eyes and you can almost hear the hustle and bustle of the travellers.   I imagine the clothes they wore.  Oh the clothes, when women wore gloves and men wore hats - swoon.

I imagine the craftsman who built this amazing piece of art and I bow down to them - metaphorically of course.  Come follow me to the coolest place in Chicago and marvel at the beauty and design of Union Station...


















I hope you enjoyed this magical place as much as I always do.
