When I was a kid, I was way into the big book of Guinness World Records. SO much crazy crap in there. World's longest poop?! No way... Way! A very official and well-documented 'way', in fact.
It's because of that big book of records that I'm able to be announce with such great excitement that I think I may have either just broken and/or be on the verge of breaking the record for world's most boring string of reviews.

This is one glamorous life, Folks. And I could go on...
Now, even though the venue itself may be a little dull, the content of this review could actually be ultra useful. At least for people like me, who aren't really familiar with the area. There's a big city park like this by where I'm from too. It's called Grant Park and it's located in Chicago. It also has a parking garage underneath it... only ours is kinda scary, dingy, and is horrifically priced.
100 minutes of parking under Chicago's Grant Park will run you $31. At White River State Park Parking Garage, up to 3 hours of parking is only $3.

For a fast-walker with a generally mediocre life like me, it was the equivalent of hitting the jackpot. I was able to see the Native American Art Museum in it's entirety, tour the state park, do the canal/river walk, get some general sightseeing in, check-out all the cool outdoor sculptures, and just take a time-out from what my day would have otherwise been (letting my work laptop burn through the flesh on my thighs... which I actually don't mind).
It was a pretty nice little day and only made better by the fact that I could do all that for only $3, without having to worry about the safety of my car or feeding a meter every 2 hours. read more
