Disclaimer: I don't even know how I would go about owning Twilight.
OK you are going to hate me, but this isn't a chapter. It's a disclaimer/explanation of all the things mentioned in Bella and Edward's Chicago trip. I'm paranoid and I don't want to get in trouble.
When they arrive, they are in Midway Airport. That's the smaller one. They really wouldn't arrive in O'Hare because that's mostly international.
I made Edward's house up. I suppose there's a neighborhood somewhere like that, but I don't know where it is.
Due's is a real restaurant. It has great deep dish pizza. If you ever go to Chicago, eat there or at Uno's. They are owned by the same people. And my description stands true for both locations.
The reign of Al Capone is accurate. Edward left during the late 20s according to the Twilight Lexicon timeline (which I also am not affiliated with) and Al Capone was out and about in the streets of Chicago during that time.
Giordano's is another deep dish pizza place. I don't like it, just to express my opinion.
Buckingham fountain is in Grant Park. You can search it on the web to see pictures and learn more about the history and meaning behind it.
Navy Pier is also real. There is a huge ferris wheel that goes extremely slow. The center where Bella and Jeri watch the dancers is also valid. A bunch of shows go on there. I've actually performed there a couple of times.
The Sears Tower…I don't know where on the stats it is on the tallest building race. Last time I heard it was the tallest building part of the building, not counting the cautionary spires. But I'm not sure about that any more. Also, I don't know if you can tour the top anymore. I did when I was little, but I don't know after 9/11. So I was lazy and didn't look it up and decided that Bella and Jeri wouldn't go there.
Lake Michigan is a nice place to go to freeze in the water. It is polluted, so you have to wait until it hasn't rained for a while.
I think I spelled the slang term for the train wrong. It's the EL not the L. I've never seen it spelled before. I don't know what train line Bella and Jeri used. I made that up, but I'm sure that some line goes by the places they rode to.
Portillo's is another real restaurant. The closest one to the city is in a suburb called Berwyn. It's a very popular place. My descriptions of the crowdedness and its appearance and theme are true. I'm sure you can find it on the web.
I have designated a school to where Jeri would attend. It is called Walter Payton High School. It is a magnet school in Chicago, which means that it's an accelerate public school. You have to have good grades and pass tests in order to attend.
I'm sorry for any errors in the chapters. I looked back and there are some freaky squares in the middle of the text.
I think that's it. Hopefully that clears anything up and I won't get in trouble. If I figure it out, I will post links of pictures to help you visualize. I know it's a little late, but better late than never!
