The IOC and Me

The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has come and gone. Despite a bit of clouds in the sky, Chicago showed the committee members a fantastic time! Still, we are all anxious to hear the results in October.
During their stay, I had a guest staying with us at the Avenue who was from Spain.
He and I were discussing the Olympics, and he conceded Chicago has a great chance in securing the 2016 Olympics. Chicago is a beautiful city with world class offerings and amazing architecture.
One of the best ways my guest was able to see the city was through one of the wonderful architectural cruises along the Chicago River.
He and his son marveled at the array of architectural styles from the flying buttresses of the Tribune Tower to the starkness of the Mies van der Rohe buildings.
I let him in on a secret that the building I live in is included on the tour, and he was quite impressed!
Come stay at the Avenue hotel Chicago, save time for an architectural cruise, and I may let you in on the secret as well!
Until next time, Happy Travels!
