Another city walk but this time in lovely Chicago. Full of impressive architecture (you can't miss Mies ;) and a bed with a view for our prince.
I was more than happy to walk some of the Ferris Bueller settings. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was John Hughes' love letter to the city: "I really wanted to capture as much of Chicago as I could. Not just in the architecture and landscape, but the spirit."
