All of these spots are within a 3 mile radius, but it would be hard to walk it all. So, I figuerd to make it easy to get around we could all purchase 1 day Bus/Train passes for 5$, that way we could also get some cool bus/train pics. I think admission to the top of the Hancock is about $9.95. Parking in the nearby Millennium garage is $16 for the day. Here is a link to a map of the area if you need it - Area Map
Mark me down as a maybe, but it's really too far away for me to tell right now. It all depends on if I can find a way to get there and back, but if I can find a way, I will definitely come.
well shoot I'm pretty sure I'll be in the Kentucky GTG. Hey I got an idea for you all...May 7th a friend of mine is getting married downtown, I'll get the info and you all can crash it and shoot the images she wanted me to lol. You all have fun and if anything changes I'll keep this in mind.
I have heard about an Aquarium there that is supposed to be state of the art, and very close to that pier. I think it is sheds aquarium or something like that. Just thought I would mention it for all the people with fancy lenses. I cant even imagine how I would get a decent picture, behind glass, and really dark. Sharks though...you don't see alot of those on here.
<---tenative, St.Louis...so it shouldn't be that hard to get there.
I don't think I have anything going on, and that's my turf (I had planned on maybe the KY gtg, but this will be a lot easier for me); please count me in. I've been wanting to join a group of DPCers for a gtg for a long time now. Awesome! See ya then!

i will tell you now (from experience) the shed is not worth going to for photography...unless you do the dolphin show....its up to you guys but it really isn't as much fun as just meeting together and taking pics.
It's the Shedd Aquarium and it is very nice, but IMO, would be a very large investment of time and money that I personally would rather pass on. My opinion is biased by the fact that I was just there a few weeks ago. Though my family had fun, I would have rather invested my picture-taking efforts around the city. Here are a few of my shots from the Shedd:

Since we'll be puchasing the $5 day pass for L/bus (I definitely prefer the L); we could get a few photos inside the cultural center (where we buy the passes). They have a gorgeous stained glass ceiling.
Put me down for a maybe, it's 5 hours away for me, so possibly.
oops nevermind, just realized the Toronto GTG is the same day... :( oh well maybe next time
