Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Bridge, Michigan Avenue, Streeterville, Chicago, IL Built in 1918-1920, this Beaux Arts-style double-leaf double-deck bascule bridge was designed by Edward H. Bennett and William A. Mulcahy to carry Michigan Avenue across the Chicago River between the Chicago Loop and Streeterville. The bridge replaced the earlier Rush Street Bridge, located immediately to the west, and allowed Michigan Avenue to cross the Chicago River and run along the former right-of-way of Pine Street all the way to Oak Street and Lake Shore Drive. The bridge was built as part of the 1909 Plan of Chicago created by Daniel H. Burnham, and saw the completion of its decorative ornament in 1928, which included sculptures on the Bedford Limestone-clad bridge houses, with the sculptures being known as The Discoverers, The Pioneers, Defense, and Regeneration. The bridge is double-decker with two levels of traffic, with an upper level for non-commercial traffic and a lower level for commercial traffic to serve industrial operations, retail, and commercial office buildings along the Michigan Avenue corridor. The bridge is a contributing structure in the Michigan–Wacker Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The bridge was listed as a Chicago Landmark in 1991, and underwent a rehabilitation project in 2009. In 2010, bridge was renamed in honor of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, of French and African descent and the first non-indigenous inhabitant of Chicago, whose house and fur trading post was constructed in the vicinity of the bridge during the 1780s.

Plane Watching from the Hyatt Regency O'Hare (Rosemont, Illinois - July 9th, 2022) Pictures of plane watching from the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, Illinois - a suburb of Chicago. These were taken during the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention at the hotel and from our room, 912. We could see planes taking off or landing on the two runways on the north of the terminal (9C-27C &amp; 9R-27L). Some great plane watching with big jets like 787s, 777s, 747s (mostly cargo), and large Airbus planes. There were many from United and American (as you might expect).

Kane County Cougars vs. Chicago Dogs (Minor League Baseball - Rosemont, Illinois - July 6th, 2022) Attended an American Association minor league baseball game on Wednesday July 6th, 2022 in Rosemont, Illinois - a short drive and decent walk from my hotel. The American Association is an independent minor league, enabling them to operate in the Cubs and White Sox market. The Chicago Dogs hosted another local team, the Kane County Cougars at Impact Field in Rosemont. The Kane County Cougars used to be the name of a Chicagoland franchise in the Midwest League, part of organized baseball. The Dogs won the contest 4 - 1 behind a strong pitching performance by Jordan Kipper. With the win, they took the rubber game of the three game series. Lots of fun at the ballpark.
