Checked in @Club Quarters, bang opposite Trump Towers. Out and about taking is some iconic Chicago sights. We found a Christmas market at Washington and Clarke . I'm sure this was the setting for the final scenes in The Blues Brothers, where they are chased by thousands of police and troops to the Cook County offices.Read more

Built in 1925, Union Station is the third largest railway station in the US, and handles about 120k passengers on a weekday! Have a look at the photo of the departures board - some of the destinations are hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. Austin, LA, Portland, St Louis.Read more

Arrived in NOLA! It was pretty foggy in the morning so just wandered around the French Quarter. Pretty seedy in places, load of strip joints and in your face bars full of neon but just a street away it can change to high end antique shops and real fancy hotels. The architecture is pretty cool. Loads of buildings with the balcony's just like you see in the films. One thing that doesn't come across is how narrow the streets are. Must be mental at Mardi Gras, with hundreds of thousands of people crammed into the tiny streets.Read more
