Help me find a webcam in Chicago

March 26, 2009 5:49 PM

I want to find a cool webcam in Chicago.

Ever since I lived in Vancouver for a few months some years ago, I've been using this webcam as a sort of "window" to take a look at "what's the city like today". I have a friend living in Chicago and I thought maybe someone here knows of a webcam there, so I can have an idea of what she's talking about, specially when she tells us about horrible or beautiful weather. I love the katkam one because the image is very clear and it's almost always up, rain or shine.

(Yes, I've googled but I get lots of results that are not good enough...I'm hoping someone has just the right thing at hand.)

Not Chicago proper, but in the greater Chicagoland area, broadly defined:

The Illinois Railway Museum webcams:
http://www2.irm.org/cam/cam2.html
http://www2.irm.org/cam/cam5.html
http://www2.irm.org/cam/cam7.html

They're most enjoyable on summer weekends, when the Museum has the most activity.
