Reader Reviews
I just came back from my second trip to Chicago, and a friend dragged me and four others to this so-called "architectural tour on the river", and I thought, oh, great, another organized tour. I have a natural aversion to organized tours, but how wrong I was for my prejudgment! Words can hardly describe what an amazing docent that Ms. Joan Lindsay proved to be. All six of us friends were enraptured by what she was saying, hanging on her every word as were the rest of the people on the boat. We soaked in every fact and detail that effortlessly ran from her mouth, and her enthusiasm for her chosen study of architectural appreciation was palpable. She threw in so many funny and witty comments under her breath that had us on the floor. The way she strung all of the buildings together into an articulate, mesmerizing and entertaining tour was almost like choreography. By the end of the tour and for the remaining 4 days of the trip, all of our walks through the city and its beautiful buildings had us spewing some fact that we had learned on the tour, as we casually threw in facts about Art Deco and Mies Van Der Rohe into our conversation like nobody's business. I wish I had her for all my lecturers back in college! I would have aced my classes the way I soaked it all in! While this book is good, the actual tour is amazing. I will never view tours in the same way after this. If you decide to do the tour, don't forget to demand Joan Lindsay - it's absolutely not the same without her! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
