The beautiful Windy City.
CHICAGO — It's a big city, this windy one. I couldn't wait to get here. We missed the arrival of players and their visit to the Ronald McDonald House Sunday. But we got a full day in Monday.
To prove it, here are some snap shots. All were taken on my i-Phone unless noted. The photos of the players arriving, signing basketballs and attending the Ronald McDonald House are all from the good folks of the McDonald's All-American Game.
Enjoy!
