Statistically no windier than any other US city...
Chicago, what an amazing city. Like a cleaner, greener New York, so much to see and do. Even though the level of gun crime would disagree with me, this great city felt very safe.
The views from the many skyscrapers draw the eye toward Millennium Park and lake Michigan beyond. The Cloud Gate sculpture by Anish Kapoor gives a different perspective of the city from every angle and above all that it looks amazing.
A shot of down town Omaha at night, this shot was taken with my trusty iPhone, the 4S has a bloody good camera. The old town is just a block or two away from this more modern part of the city but both are always clean and tidy. The down town area has more than enough bars and restaurants to go round and it always seems to be busy.
Everybody drives everywhere all the time. Its all so spread out and the distances can be huge a car is a must.
I heard a good argument for cheap American petrol prices the other day. The point was made that because of the lay out of there towns and cities, the way the road network has been designed and because of the vast distances they may need to travel, they probably spend the same percentage of there wage on fuel as we do. As hard as this will be for British ears to here, our public transport is also better in smaller cities like Omaha, you simply cant take a bus or Metro because they don't have any!
Not sure you need a 6.7 litre V8 in everything though?
