Changing Gears Senior Editor Micki Maynard talked with travel writer Paul Brady about Chicago reinvention the other day. Brady writes for Gadling.com and is going on a Visa-sponsored road trip of the country.

He and Micki talked about how Chicago has diversified its way to economic success. They also discussed Millennium Park, a pet project of former Mayor Richard Daley, and “the Bean.”

After his talk with Micki, Brady stopped at Ann Arbor institution Zingerman’s for an almost $20  lunch. Changing Gears’ Pete Bigelow says just $170  more could get him into Zingerman’s Camp Bacon.
