Chicago sights

Well, I am at the end of my Chicago trip. I have had a tradeshow day, client lunch & dinner and a meeting. I am tired of living out of a suitcase and want to be home. It was a good trip, but ready for it to end. Well, our flight is tomorrow, so we had the afternoon free. We were able to take a tour of the city and see some sights. We had a beautiful day and it was a nice treat. Here are some pictures I took during the tour.

This is the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago. It is kitty corner from Portillo's - Home of the shaved beef sandwich, and across the street from a really cool looking McDonald's.

The next really cool landmark we saw was this sign at the theater. Why not see the Chicago sign when you are in Chicago? PS - I discovered if you want to see any show when you are in town, go to the visitors center by the water tower. They have discounted tickets for all shows. Good to know for next time.

Last picture for now - The Chicago River.

We also got to drive by the Hyatt Regency Chicago and the Big Bar, as well as Navy Pier and assorted other landmarks. We didn't get out at any of the stops, but it was fun to hear all the stories of the city.

We are staying at a hotel near O'hare. It was a bargain, courtesy of the tradeshow we attended, but I am seriously questioning why we are paying what we are for a rate. The customer service - Not good. It is frustrating when you are at a full service hotel, but they don't really give the service that you would expect. grrrrrrr.

Portillo’s is a well- known brand amongst people due to the principles adopted by the team members working there. The team of portillo's survey - surveymayor.com/ integrates in such a way that their collaboration leads to their customer’s smile and satisfaction. The Portillo’s always believes and says that for them- their People are the Heart of Portillo’s. And this statement is practised by them, which is seen due to their constant hard work to deliver quality food and services.
