Out of my seven USA business travels between 2011 and 2018, I spent three in the midwest around the great lakes; mostly Chicago/IL and Cleveland/OH, and one in Wichita/KS.

Huge Candy Store with sweets all over the place - but that machine was just the best 🙂

One-way plates in a hotel
Hard to believe, but even in a not too inexpensive hotel they were using paper plates and plastic cutlery for the breakfast. Chicago/IL, 2015.
Deep-dish Pizza!
Yes, they call it Pizza. And it's delicious - whenever you're in Chicago, you gotta try it.

Old Town of Wichita
That's about the busiest street I was able to find during three days in Wichita.

Arkansas River
This river flows right through Wichita, although it barely moves. I walked along this pathway for about 7km and couldn't find another bridge but wanted to get to the other side... so I just walked through the water...
Downtown Wichita
...and still no human beings in sight.
