Grand Rapids, MI--from which Chicago is the nearest outpost of urban civilization. We were there this weekend, in fact, taking in Second City and Blue Man Group. Was looking out onto Michigan Avenue from our room at the Allerton this morning, thinking about how to combine a toy car with, let's say, a Lincoln Park life in which parking is one of the major investments, along with housing.

Usually it's about three hours back--ran almost four today, and you Chicagoland folks will know why!
