To paraphrase Mark Twain, the coldest winter I ever experienced was the spring I was in Chicago. It's the exciting conclusion to our trip to the Windy City...baseball, snow, museums, and more at The World on Wheels! http://tinyurl.com/yk22j5m

Last week's Fields of Dreams report celebrated the century anniversary of baseball's oldest park. Today, it's a younger stadium...only 98. On The World on Wheels, we update the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field with...count 'em...five pricing tiers AND dynamic pricing. You'd have thunk they were the world champions or something: http://tinyurl.com/247fu9u

That's what they say Ed - and the politicians are still the windiest thing in the state!

Darryl, that's quite a story about the Library Station. No matter how often it happens to you and Tim, I'm sure it's always irritating. Is it true that the Windy City got its nickname -- not from the winds blowing off the lake, but from some turn-of-the-century blowhard politicians?

Well, after being in Reno, Nevada for the past few years I have come back to my home state of Illinois.  Can't wait to take the train into the Windy City! Beautiful, beautiful Chicago.
