    -Willis Tower-
    *Sears Tower*

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      LOL. If it were going to remain the Willis Tower forever, we could have got used to the new name. But since it is likely to change name again, we figured out we would just keep the original one :)

    • @bwiseguy8575
      @bwiseguy8575 6 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      IT ALWAYS WILL BE THE SEARS TOWER

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Haha! If it was going to keep the Willis Tower name forever, then we might eventually get used to it. But if it's going to change name again, we might as well keep the stable one. You know, we often refer to the Aon Center as the Amoco building. We just don't learn quickly :)

    • @violettak2246
      @violettak2246 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like "Sears Tower". I don't think I ever going to name this building Willis Tower. I can't even spell this correctly. 😁😁😁😁

    • @kellyanderson7624
      @kellyanderson7624 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @angelina angel The building was bought and the new owners changed it. But to native Chicagoans it will ALWAYS be the Sears Tower

    If u like art the Mexican Art Museum in Pilsen is free! Also the neighborhood has lot of great restaurants and bars u could hit up later!

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Thanks for the advice. We haven't been to the Mexican Art Museum for years. And we rarely go to Pilsen because we live on the north side. But it is a neighborhood a with great vibe and lots of restaurant choices.

    • @jimgreen9059
      @jimgreen9059 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      krysg86, mentioning you is just so this comment will end up here where it belongs, since I want to point out to those not familiar with Chicago, that Pilsen is another of the many neighborhoods of Chicago, rather than a suburb.

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Krysg86, based on your advice, we just went to the Mexican Art Museum. First time in many, may years. It was fantastic! Thanks you so much for recommending it. We are working on two other videos about Chicago off the beaten path and Chicago museums and took great shots of Pilsen and the museum. Whenever we get around to finishing these videos, the Mexican Art Museum will be featured :)

    I live in the Chicago area. These particular places might be free and they are fun places to go to but the parking prices are high. Sometimes, I just put my bicycle in the car and park on the north side of Chicago and ride into downtown. Also, you can take the "L" train.

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Absolutely, we never drive downtown. The L, the bus or bikes are the way to go.

    • @timmmahhhh

    • @MegaMoose1989
      @MegaMoose1989 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      if you are driving from a different city, it might be better to take amtrak in or at least take the metra/southshore line commutter rail in from the far suburbs. parking is usually either free or dirt cheap at those stations and many have security.

    • @hadhamalnam

    Your video makes this home town girl proud. Thank you for showing our INCREDIBLE CITY in such a beautiful light! My grandparents immigrated to Chicago from Italy in 1910!! This makes me feel like jumping on a train and spending the day in the city!

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the kind words. As you might expect, a lot of work and effort go into making these videos. You absolutely should jump on a train and visit the city. You can also check our latest video about Chicago Off The Beaten Path. Some more great sites featured in that video.

      Absolutely, and it will always be the Hancock Building. When I was young, the Field Museum's name was changed to the Chicago Museum of Natural History or something like that. Nobody called it by its new name and it is now the Field Museum again.

    Yes! The spectacular River Walk very much belongs on your list. But taking the River Walk absolutely in no way compromises the architectural boat tour. The River Walk only covers the width of the Loop from Michigan Avenue to Wacker Drive’s north/south section. And even there, your view of the tower to your south along Wacker Drive (e/w) is limited and you only get a complete view of the towers of River North, the downtown neighborhood across the river. True can walk the riverfront going east from Michigan Avenue to LSD, but is just an ordinay stretch of walkway, not part of the River Walk. The architecural oat tour gives you a more extensive view of the building of downtown Chicago, including both the north and south branches. Best deal: do both the River Walk and the architectural tour

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Edward, Thanks for your advice. We absolutely love the architectural boat tour. We actually prefer the one that stays on the river rather than the one that goes on the lake (although both of them are great). But they are clearly not free :)

      James and Laurent's World Travels okay good. I knew some things (museums and such ) are free but I thought you had to show Illinois residency. I live in Portage Indiana... near Valparaiso. (Northwest Indiana).

    Chicago is awesome!
    I have a whole generation born there,on another note some people there do just wild things(Murder,suicide,kidnappings,)
    That's just the bad parts about it still a normal city!
    I love chicago.
