Chicago, 4 and 6 July, 2004

When the opportunity presented itself to visit Chicago and get a tour of some of ABC's facilities, I jumped at the chance to use some of my United frequent-flyer miles. I arrived on a Sunday, which happened to be the Fourth of July, but headed immediately up to Milwaukee for a few days to see what that market looked like. I did stop on the way up at a few Chicagoland stations, and then came back for the ABC tours on Tuesday the sixth.
