Religious or no, it's worth the trip to the northern suburbs to bask in the beauty of the Baha'i temple of worship. The building's architecture is exquisite—with its nine sides capped by a soaring dome and surrounded by gardens and fountains. The whole thing shimmers on sunny days and if, like me, you're prone to wander by on foggy days it's almost unearthly—disappearing into or rising out of an anonymous greyness. Though no one else was there on the day my wife and I first discovered it, we still found ourselves whispering on the grounds; it's just that kind of place. Built on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, with decorations that took over a decade to sketch out (the architect used a pencil on a long string to create some of the long soaring curves), it's not to be missed.
