I have an early meeting at the Spherion building downtown, which should be over by noon; but my flight home doesn't leave O'Hare until 6 pm. I figure that gives me until 4 pm (an hour back to O'Hare on the CTA, and I have to be at the airport an hour before the flight departs) to do something in Chicago. I've never been there, but I don't want to do really touristy stuff. If you know of some great architecture or gardens or something (I'm a photographer) that would really help me out. Thanks!

I also LOVE taking photos, especially of architecture. You might just want to walk around downtown or near the lake. I'd definitely check out Millenium Park or the museums. Your choices are almost endless.

I don't know that building, you should supply the cross streets. You could just walk around downtown looking at the buildings. The Madnonock building, Carson Pirie Scott, I'm sure there is a list of famous architectural buildings somewhere. The Art Institute is downtown,and next to it is the new Millennium Park, which you would enjoy.

look for millenium park. it's absolutely beautiful, even when it's a little colder out. and it's not too far from the lake, which is a must if you're in chicago.

you could check out navy pier,john hancock observatory or the sears tower.
or go shopping on state street or michigan avenue or you could find a nice bar to sip some drinks in.
