Chicago is the city where skyscrapers were invented. Teddy was immediately impressed by the great skyline and huge buildings, which is why he visited the two tallest of them: The John Hancock Tower should be considered as an awesome first stop when visiting Chicago, especially at night. There is the Observatory which you would have […]
While in Indianapolis, Teddy couldn’t wait to see the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in a part of town with the same name – Speedway! The famous course which hosts the world-known “Indy 500” race, exists for more than 100 years. The racetrack used to be made out of brick stones, which of course […]
Teddy’s first stop on his USA Roadtrip is Indianapolis, IN. The city is structured like Washington DC: at the center you’ll find the Monument Circle, the very heart of the city where you can enjoy all the lovely shops and cafes.

For those who already live there: If you want nice afterwork drinks just go to the Bistro at Grove Square. For those visiting: give New Jersey […]
Even if you don’t like museums you’ll definitely like this one. DC’s Newseum is spectacular. It is 7-story high with permanent and special exhibits. It is recommended to start from the top floor.
