The famous Water Tower place - one of the only buildings that survived the great Chicago fire (apparently, if I remember what I read in the tourist pamphlet right!)

The famous Giordano's pizzeria - we got here at about 1030-1100 for lunch and were amazed at how busy it was already - we had their famous stuffed pizza - deepdish, probably about a pound of cheese in our pizza alone - needless to say, we were incredibly stuffed after finishing

The ridiculous Christmas tree in one of the malls on the Mile

Bloomingdales - still couldnt' believe my eyes when I saw how expensive everything was in this store - Gucci shoes for 700$ anyone?
