Chocolate

I love Chicago. I call it home and hope that no matter where I end up traveling I will eventually make it back to the Second City.
But it smells like chocolate.

I’m not making that up. If you live here, you know what I’m talking about and if you have never visited, you should, it’s wonderful. But it smells like chocolate.

The Blommer Chocolate Co., located at 600 Kinzie, produces 10 lb chocolate bars and roasts cocoa beans. On a good day downtown, near the river, you’ll really want a brownie.
The smell, itself, isn’t the problem. It’s the chocolate-inducing scent that causes such dangerous cravings.

I was walking downtown today and really really wanted a brownie.  Thankfully I resisted and I don’t smell it everyday.  But it is there and it is dangerous.

I love you, Chicago. But your smell makes me fat.

    Howdy neighbor! Is this why I’m fat? That explains so much. LOL. I love love love love love driving over that bridge at Chicago (I think) and Kinzie - the smell wafts through the car. I wouldn’t dare walk it, for fear of getting trapped by the brownie craving. Ellen

    Sure beats living in a town that smells like meat packing plants and feed lots! I would take the dangers of CHOCOLATE any day!
