What I learned in Chicago

_Northwestern grad Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be the commencement speaker at Northwestern this summer.
_I went to Chicago this week and had brunch at Tempo. Try the waffles with blueberries and strawberries, and get some hot cocoa. Or the Gold Coast omelette with egg whites is supposed to be good. Also in Chicago, my friend got her eyebrows threaded at this place on Wells, a few blocks south of Grand. It's cheaper if you can find a place on Devon though, so go there instead.
_The view from the 15th floor of the Holiday Inn at Merchandise Mart at night is lovely!
_The El gets you from here to there pretty cheaply, but it's still going to smell like urine sometimes
