This weeks Friday Shootout theme was brought to you by: Kent. For more photos on this subject matter go to Friday My Town Shoot Out
The small town I live in is about 30 miles northwest of Chicago, ( a 30 minute ride on the tollway when there is no traffic, up to 2 hours when there is) and I really couldn't think of subject matter to shoot around this place that would cause a person to leap up out of their seat and exclaim "my god I know where that is..." just from a picture. So I went with "my kind of town Chicago...", which has an umpteen amount of landmarks that may cause a person to at least raise one eyebrow and mutter, "yeah, I know dat joint, my uncle told me about it, he lived dair once."
When in Chicago, one must visit the "MAG Mile". The Magnificent Mile hosts the marvelous Michigan Avenue, off of which the very tall (100 story) John Hancock Building resides. It is on the 95th Floor where "The Signature Room" is available for an elegant martini with an amazing view.
Now this could only happen to a "gal" like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratef'lly
As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town
[brief instrumental]
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town
