Yes, you read my title correctly. Yesterday I found palm trees in Chicago. Lainie
and I ate lunch together yesterday, and I decided to walk home from
Wacker and Monroe. I was walking past Sears Tower when I noticed the
building next door to the south had a huge atrium, so I decided to go
investigate. The Birthday Cake building (so called because the top of
the building looks like a cake) is the building to the left of the
Sears Tower:

As I approached the revolving doors, I saw palm trees on the other
side of the glass. I thought no way! There’s no way there are palm
trees in there! I went through the revolving doors, and there is a way
for there to be palm trees in Chicago. You need a really, big glass
atrium. Here’s what I saw when I walked in (this is why you always
carry a camera!).

The tables are part of Pazzos at 311, an Italian restaurant. The Hubby and I may have to try it out sometime.


And there’s also a fountain, a magnificent fountain:

That is my new Chicago discovery. I’m glad I went for a walk yesterday.
