Did you know that Google has offices here in the Windy City? I sure as hell didn't. This past Thursday, Jessica and I were invited to Google's Chicago offices to meet up with our Adwords reps, whom just so happen to be based in California but were in town on business this whole week.

Google's Chicago office is nothing like the Googleplex that resides in Mountain View. It's a small, 1 floor office in the middle of downtown Chicago, and it houses a small Adwords sales team as well as a few Chicago based engineers. It did, however, seem to maintain the very same fun and colorful atmosphere that you've come to expect from Google.

Here's a shot of the front-desk / lobby area:

Here's a shot of the late, but great Harry Carry's Restaurant... which just happen to be right next to the Google office building:

The meeting itself wasn't anything too formal, as the agenda was pretty much a review of our accounts, discussion on account management and optimization strategies, and a brief introduction to the many new tools and products recently released by the Adwords division... as well as a few to come a little later.
