LowNslow - I spent a very enjoyable evening in the same bar. It's the Signature Bar on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower. Not quite as tall as the 110 floor Sears Tower(in the bottom picture) but the Sears Tower doesn't have a bar!
New Bloke - tell Mrs N-B that Michigan Avenue isn't called the "Magnificent Mile" for nothing. It's said to have amongst the best shopping in the world. Could be expensive - but at least you get to fly one of the most spectacular approaches in the world!
PS My conscience won't let me take credit for the pictures - I wasn't the photographer.
