I was thrilled to see peaceful demonstrations happening both inside and outside the building. And that someone appeared to be working at a desk in the House of Representatives even though the House was not in session. And that the House and Senate have balconies from which people can watch government in action. In spite of some of Chicago's history, Illinois is a good state.Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5444152614012496655.post-48088374246523660232016-04-18T10:43:38.677-04:002016-04-18T10:43:38.677-04:00They just don't make buildings like that anymo...They just don't make buildings like that anymore, do they?

I remember the beauty of the building but I remember taking my first elevator ride even more. As a matter of fact, my buddies and I took a number of rides. <br /><br />As you may have guessed we didn't have any buildings in my home town with elevators. Sure was a lot simpler time in those days. <br /><br />I've been enjoying your blogging about Springfield. Great job.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.com
