It totally is bipolar. It's been back and forth constantly lately, it's insane. O_o
I can see why you'd see similarities between Chicago and Montreal. There are aspects that I remember seeing in Montreal, too. And haha, yes, our skyscrapers are huge. The pictures here actually aren't even showing some of the REALLY huge ones, like the Sears Tower and such.
You're right - you can see a lot of history with things like you mentioned. It's neat, too, because there's such a mix, overall - old architecture right next to new, Gothic next to modern, etc.
And the parks. Oh yes. Chicago is full of parks and green spaces. That's something the city has always been really committed to preserving. There are so, so many parks, all throughout the city.
When we first saw Montreal, my impression was that Montreal was a 'real' city, like Chicago. One with a history and with a sense of itself that is individual, and one that has grown organically and is not all one of a kind

Hehe, why thank you! And haha, I love that icon. Taylor's expression is priceless. XD And it gives me a reason to use the 'related' icon I have that hasn't been used in forever.
These are great pictures, honey! I love seeing other people's surroundings.
I'm such a suburbian girl at heart, cities always seem really intimidating to me, but judging by these pictures, Chicago is so charming and, as Lisa said, I love all the "gothic-style" architecture. It seems like you could just immerse yourself in history and culture. I especially love all the photos you took of Grant Park. Makes me want to to make plans for a trip out to Chicago sometime! :)
That striped top looks fantastic on you! You are so, so beautiful, sweetheart. :) Your hair is absolutely gorgeous, as well.
Thank you, Kayla! I love seeing other people's surroundings, too, hehe.
I can totally understand feeling intimidated by cities - I used to be quite intimidated by Chicago, myself. But I would agree that Chicago has a definite charm to it. And if you ever do want to come out here, I've told you before, you are certainly more than welcome to come and stay with me and I'll show you around! :D
Oh Lis. You're so beautiful :) I love your Chicago pictures!!! Its so fun to see a city I have never visited. It makes me want to take my camera to Denver when I go this weekend.
*blushes* Thank you so much, Jen! I'm glad you enjoy the pictures! And oooh, I would love to see pictures if you take any while you're in Denver! I hope you have a good time, regardless! Much love!
