Galleries and The Magnificent Mile




   As we meandered through the Magnificent Mile, we stopped at Millennium Park and the Chicago Cultural Center. The weather was brisk and refreshing and we, Sarah, Lia, Holly and I waltzed towards the John Hancock Building. Along the way we stopped at Atlas Galleries, where priceless Picasso, Renoir, Degas and Albrecht Durer pieces were on display. We then met my aunt for lunch at the SouthWater Kitchen where I had a "turducken" burger (yes, it does exhist, duck, turkey and chicken burger.) and sweet potato fries. After we bee-lined for the JH building where we were escorted to the 25th floor.
   On this floor was the the Richard Gray Gallery, Valerie Carberry, KM Fine Arts, and Maurice Sternberg. All were very unique and contained jaw-dropping (literally, JAW-DROPPING.) art. I couldn't chose a favorite, nor could I ever describe the phenomenal pieces on display. After this great escapade, we just found our way back to the beginning and had time to stop for a bit of shopping at Utrecht Art Supply and a quick cup of joe.
   (Then my bus broke down.)
