CHICAGO, Sept. 3:  Hopping Chicago beach front 10 minutes from center of downtown. The band Sushi Roll performed at North Avenue Beach venue.  The blogger on a rented bike then stopped by Navy Pier, a glitzy tourist spot that visitors seem to prefer over spectacular Millennium Park and its famous bean, and then headed to Millennium about 4 p.m Sunday for some great jazz at the Frank Gehry pavilion. Voices of Maui Talk Story, LLC visiting hometown Chicago.
