Alabama Teen Loves Chicago

Ah, Huntsville, Alabama. Home of Space Camp and the setting of my youth (hi, Mom & Dad!). It's always good to see my hometown giving my current home an endorsement, as 17-year old Kevin Turner did in today's Huntsville Times with his Teen section article, "You Got To Visit Chicago." Perhaps the most transcendent moment Mr. Turner experienced was seeing The Bean in person: "Though I mocked the idea of the statue when I first heard of the metallic, legume-shaped sculpture, I stood in amazement upon seeing it." Among other things Mr. Turner noticed about Chicago? The "innumerable tollbooths." Tell me about it, Kevin.
