Thanks! Yes, I was surprised at how beautiful the city was - but also distressed at the marked contrast between rich and poor. When I was a little girl, you didn't see beggars in America; in the 1980s, homelessness surged and begging became common. Then it became less common - and now there are more desperate and impoverished people than I can remember seeing in over a decade. That was the downside. Someone said, a while back, that our current leader wanted to completely undo all the work the democrats had done in the 20th century and get back to the roaring 90s - the 1890s, that is. I think we've come frighteningly close to that goal.

But I am very glad you love the video. And, if you got to Chicago in the past, perhaps you'll make it to New York in future?
