The Millennium park is of a great considerable size. It has an open theater, skating platform, artificial rock climbing, water fountain, garden and outdoor playground for kids. I have never skated before but I watched with pleasure to see many people do this. The fun part is seeing newbies trying this and falling. It is funny indeed as people watching get hilarious. I hope to try this some other time. I believe it will be exhilarating.

Though, there are some reports of unpleasant attitudes by some especially to people of colour, but I have not experienced that. They are highly trained and professional...I could remember one encounter of driving with a friend and we were flagged down. The officer politely asked for the driver license and went to his car to do some cross checking. He returned to informed us that we were not suppose to drive that route in a certain hour of the day. We were not given a ticket but a warning

No offense, but this was likely racial profiling. They see a black person or a black person in a nice car, and stop you because they assume or hope they can find something. They ignore virtually any whites driving around anywhere unless they need to hit a quota or the oyinbo is doing something too wild to ignore.

There are countless stories of black men specifically being detained simply for driving. And these are doctors, lawyers, and other educated professionals driving decent cars and dressed neatly.

Considering they're a major city, they also have nice, affordable apartments. They're fairly diverse. People are also a little more country than city, which some people may find appealing. The pace of lifestyle is a bit slower too, again, some people may find that more attractive. It's also a smaller city in terms of population, which some people prefer (like me).

I wouldn't live there because it's just too white and American, and the economy isn't amazing by my standard. But I get why someone would.

They're definitely segregated, and the weather is a bit much. But some people argue the weather keeps the wrong kinds of people away.

From the Millennium park, there is a road across to the lakefront. The Michigan lake is close to the park. I decided to cross the road and follow the trail. This Lane is very busy with traffic. But once the pedestrian signal is on, all vehicles must stop for people to pass. I marvel at how organized the West can be in designing their country. I wish my dear Nigeria leaders can sincerely replicate what they see in the West. I believe we have all it takes to develop the nation.
