My next trip to Chicago (hopefully this summer) will have Central top on my list of places to stop. (then I'll swing by "the Bean" and gawk at the gawkers)

Ansel Adams had the Zone System... I'm working on the points system. First I points it here, and then I points it there...

Cheers,
Dear Toffle,
Would you be so nice to translate in "english for beginners" what I quoted?
Maybe even for me could be nice swinging and gawking, whatever it means...
Thank you
Carlo

"The Bean" is a giant, shiny (SHINY!!!) bean-shaped sculpture. Google "Chicago The Bean" and the first few images will show exactly what it is.

Yes, pretty much what MJS has said. The bean is a top tourist attraction in Chicago, and from my understanding, many locals despise it for that reason. Its highly polished and convoluted shape does create some interesting distortions in the reflected cityscape. It is probably the place in the city where you will hear more languages spoken at one time. I like it for that reason.
Cheers, (Ciao)
