"Sweet Home Chicago"

"Sweet Home Chicago"

Well... Not really. I'm not even from anywhere near Chicago. However, I've been here three times since joining Edelman and there's something about this town that's uniquely welcoming. (Besides which, I've always liked the song "Sweet Home Chicago.")

Some things I've learned:

  • Calling Marshall Field's "Macy's" is a lot like calling Candlestick Park "3COM Park" (or "Monster Park", or whatever the hell that stadium has whored its naming rights to). Just don't do it.
  • Common winter-time phrase: "[Insert underground 'pedway' walking directions here], and that way you won't have to go outside."
