Seven

Alright so I've decided I need to focus this a little more. That doesn't mean I won't be posting random excerpts from the mind of KT, just that I found a fun topic...for now.


Seven has such a significance in our world. Seven days of creation, seven deadly sins (see Se7en, with Brad Pitt), seven wonders of the world, and the list goes on. I thought it would be fun to post a topic each week (span of 7 days) of 7 things. 


So, my first topic, in honor of my trip this weekend, is "7 Things I Love About Chicago." I'm no expert, but these things I know.


7. The L. Chicago's finest transportation system -  partially e"l"evated. I'm from a city where everyone drives. 


6. Dunkin' Donuts. Chicago isn't the home, but you can find one on every block. Something else KC is lacking. 


5. The Architecture. Again, no expert, but there is a giant, reflective bean in the middle of the city. And they have the Sears tower. You can stand above the the city with nothing but a piece of glass separating you and the busy street below. What do you mean there isn't a weight limit?!


4. Chicago Style Pizza. I could eat pizza any day, from any place. But pizza is so much more impressive when it's 4 inches thick.


3. The Cubs. Ah the Cubs. I wish you would win a World Series so I can stop coddling a grown man every Fall. But really, they are America's favorite team and quite a sight to see.


2. Wrigley Field. Is that cheating? This stadium is extraordinary. It sits in the middle of the city, it's sold out nonstop, and people wait in line for hours to get in. It hasn't been touched by the modern world. It's distraction free baseball, the way baseball was meant to be. 


1. Jared Wight. The love of my life was born in Chicago. Lucky for me, he didn't stay there forever.
