Gintoniclime41 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 You'll have the Shedd Aquarium, the Planetarium, the Chicago Field Museum all right there... Can't go wrong with any of those and they're all within walking distance from the Bean. You bringing the Goat? If so, maybe you can pick a date to meet some of the crew from the Chicago Holden Connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Here is my opinion. Just go have fun and take it as it comes. I know whenever I seriously plan something it is usually too much. We usually do this when we go to Florida. And we come home burned out. Next year it will be whatever we decide to do on a daily basis. Even if it just means spending time relaxing at the pool where we stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koebot Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Molly's cupcakes on Clark street in Lincoln Park. Wiener Circle is one block north if you'd like to see that crazy place in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Where are you staying near? Michigan Ave? Sounds like everyone beat me to the punch. Save the trip to Navy Pier for later on wens and saturday cause they have fireworks. If you're looking for food, besides the taste, there is Ed Debevic's, Gino's East, Giordano's, Gene and Jude's, Superdawg, Manny's Deli, Grand Lux Cafe to name a few but all food in Chicago is good casue rent isn't cheap so if you're not bringing in customers you're closed.

Captain Slow Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Come here and spend lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 'cuz we broke!!! /rant on BTW: I won't go to Chicago for almost any reason. In fact the only way I'll go is if the company Sox tickets are available. I'll go to the game and spend $0 at Comiskey. And it'll ALWAYS be Comiskey to me, not the Cel. A cell is what you put prisoners in. Chicago, IMHO it's what's wrong with Illinois. Don't believe me? Just ask most any Illinoisan that lives south of I-80. /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
