(MikeyY and i go to Chicago to take some reference photos for NBA STREET V4 (videogame) )

Chicago isn’t welcoming MikeY back home.

Chicago’s best pizza place, and one of Mikes favorites, has shut down for renovations. We took a cab straight there from the airport since we were starving after a ‘pay-only-snacks’ flight on United (i know, we have to pay for pizza too, but at least you actually WANT that pizza vs plane ‘food’)

Switching gears, Mikey suggests his #2, which after searching a little for we give up on and go for the #3 best pizza place in town because it’s really close to where we happen to be. Chicago deep dish at it’s best (heart-stopper coronary action supreme)

hotel checkin

taxi to first hoops court. sold, now a health club, no NBA guys go there anymore. can’t take pictures. told owner has another place called Hoops the gym nearby, we walk over to it. This guy is kind of fishy... Hoops#2 is closed, but looks promising from what we can see through the window. We take some photos of the neighborhood, walk past the Oprah winfrey studios and cab back to the hotel.

So far, day 1 was a bit of a failure. Hopefully shifty owner guy checks his answering machine and lets us visit Hoops #2.

super tired, extra long day with the time change, we crashout.
