Dancing with the Stars update! Last night they revealed that Rocco Dispirito and Karina Smiroff had the lowest voter score but because Misty May-Treanor popped her Achilles tendon and had to drop out they would be allowed to stay another week...awkward!!!! So here are the remaining couples. Which is your favorite? I'm still rooting for Toni Braxton - even though the Viennese waltz costumes were a little goofy.

I was on the Chicago Architecture website getting information about their "Devil in the White City" bus tours when I noticed this photo. Where was this beautiful picture taken? Is it by the Museum of Science and Industry? While I am waiting for their reply to my question maybe you can help me identify the spot. Thanks!
