Where in the world is Farnsworth the explorer?

Who knows where Farnsworth the explorer will head to next! Adios amigos! 

Oprah’s Harpo Studio

This was our last stop, Harpo Studio located in the West Loop. I’ve always wished that I lived in Chicago while the Oprah show was filming so I could take part and sit in the audience...who knows, maybe I would have won a car! It’s sad to know that the Harpo Studio in Chicago will be closing its doors next month, but I’m glad I got to see it one last time with my buddy Farnsworth.

Buckingham Fountain

Aka “Love & Marriage Fountain”, as seen on the opening credits of the show Married with Children. The fountain had already turned off for the colder season, but that didn’t stop Farnsworth from pulling an Al Bundy and sticking his hands down his pants...I’m embarrassed to say the least. Also, Farnsworth decided to photo bomb my friend and I in our selfie. Oh Farnsworth!

The Nielsen Building

The Nielsen Building is located close to the Sears Tower in the south Loop. Located at 200 W. Jackson Blvd., Arthur C. Nielsen first opened his advanced field marketing company in 1923. Mr. Nielsen is famous for his innovating marketing tools for measuring audience viewership for TV and radio. Farnsworth and I were kinda blowing away in the wind in this picture, he almost started flying away in the wind! 

Newton Minow Way:

Farnsworth and I headed to the heart of the Loop to find Newton Minow Way. Located at 42 S Dearborn is Newton Minow Way, named after the chairman of the Federal Communication Commission. Newton Minow is more famously known for his criticism of commercial television and his famous phrase “vast wasteland” is still remembered 50+ years after his speech at the National Association of Broadcasters convention.

The house from the TV comedy Webster

The house from the TV comedy Webster:

The house from Webster was next on the list, and only a few steps away from The Original Playboy Mansion, located at 1432 N State Pkwy in the Gold Coast. Webster was a situation comedy that aired in the 1980’s, where Webster was a colored child adopted by his white god-parents after his parents passed away. I took a look at an episode of the show and was amazed at the diversity portrayed and how the sarcastic humor and life lessons were the focus of the show.

There is Farnsworth and I casually chit-chatting on the steps of the Webster house.
