Okay, here's San Fran coming out of SFO:






And Chicago from 7 miles up:



I missed that large river we have in the middle of the country, I was working and next thing you know I was over Murderland, so I just took that intsead.

Very nice, thank you.

I always think San Fran looks very cool when I see documentaries or movies shot on location there.

The Chicago pic looked like a skyscraper at first to me, lol. Must be the fog/smog I guess.

I wasn't as drunk as I normally am, I promise it wont happen again.

Have you ever for some absurd reason flown into Oklahoma City? There's a few burger places there I've wanted to eat at, like Nic's grill.

Haven't been there in over a year. I need to check that out.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

That one restaurant closes at 2pm because I guess Nic is special. People que up to get in. I hear good things though

If it's on your list it must be good.

I'm interested in seeing anything that I likely won't see in person.
