Poky (and anyone planning a Chicago visit)

The construction on the same block as the Omni is going to be a Ritz. It's very loud and most definitely will continue through the summer.

Also, I went to the Intercontinental Hotel's Starbucks today and they're still doing some sort of construction close to the Intercontinental (N. Michigan/Illinois) that is super loud and causes the entire lobby to vibrate. I think they may be doing something in the loading dock area below the street.

Wow. That's....kinda annoying! We'll have to see; at this point I'm not even sure we'll have time to go this summer anyway.
