Saturday we had arranged to meet up with Steve and Shay for breakfast so we drove into Chicago in the morning.
 |
| Shay and Steve had us park near their apartment and met up with us near where we parked... |
 |
| Neat lit-up bench in front of a restaurant on our way to breakfast |
 | |
| These little "greenhouse"-like huts were provided for the patrons of a restaurant / bar to allow for weather-protected social-distanced dining -- but with the hot weather this past week in Chicago, I think they would have been really uncomfortable. Maybe for the cold weather that will be coming in a few months? |
 |
| One of a couple of exercise classes that we saw going on outside |
 |
| We were heading to Beatrix for breakfast |
 |
| You accessed the menu by scanning a QR code on a smartphone (not sure how non-smartphone customers would know what was on the menu - I do know a couple of folks who don't have smartphones!) |
 |
| Delicious omelette |
 |
| Delicious enchiladas |
 |
| Steve has recently gotten a new computer... |
 |
| Pretty snazzy, huh? |
 |
| We remembered to get a selfie with all of us just before we headed out... |
 |
| Some of my IBM friends might remember this building |
 |
| It is now called AMA Plaza |

There is a luxury hotel in the building now (in addition to other businesses):

That would have been convenient when we were teaching there, huh?
