Joliet

Joliet is new terrain for me and I need to adjust. I'm not accustomed to the traffic in the area, especially the amount of semitrailers. Catholicism is big tyme here. Those bridges over the Des Plaines River worry me. In Sycamore I had to pay for parking near the courthouse, but a quarter for 15 minutes in downtown Joliet is crazy to me. I mean, other than going to the courthouse, why do visitors go downtown? Also, why were the sidewalks not cleared of snow? I saw people walking down the middle of major roads during rush hour. Nuts. My last gripe is all I have for equipment is a wide-angle zoom lens. Other than that Joliet is great. I've been inundated with planning, scheduling, etc., but my hope is to get out more to meet new people and to experience this new terrain.
