Chicago Seems Smaller

5:35pm

After work I walked through the Loop to go see my friend Thea's band, Let's Get Out of this Terrible Sandwich Shop. Having spent 7 nights in a hotel just west of Times Square, I couldn't help but feel like Chicago was this small hamlet of a city instead of the 3rd biggest city in America. The theater section of the Loop seemed like a sandbox compared to the Sahara that is Broadway in NYC. Chicago has taller skyscrapers but it seems like there's less tall buildings here. It was an old feeling. Chicago feels smaller. And I'm okay with that.
