in 5 months will be june
I lived inside the loop, just talking about it makes me miss home!
-the fireworks every wednesday and saturday will have started at the pier
most nights there are concerts in the park
free trolleys for them or if your hotel is in the loop you can walk
-I don't want to sound overly American but Chicago is also famous for their hot dogs too! You should never leave Chicago without eating one.... unless you're a vegetarian
-There are many TV and radio shows going on all around Chicago and if you book in advance you can get in for free!!!
-You can never get enough shopping done in chicago! If you are renting a car, there is a really large outlet mall
-On a clear day if you want to see all of chicago I going to the Hancock tower (rather than Sears) but don't go to the observation deck and pay for only the view. Head up to the signature room and get a drink at the bar so you get the view for free....the lunch meals there are quite nice
