Travel Tips
Here are five cool things to do in Chicago other than seeing the Chicago Cubs game;

1. Take a tour of Soldier Field.

4. Attend the Second City comedy club.

See the White Sox's
Sears Tower,Down Town,Field Museum,Aqarium,Museum of Science and Industry,the Lake front,Navy Pier,Lincoln Park Zoo, Art Museum's as for food so much to choose from.Uno's Pizza,all kind's of ethnic food i miss so much.I love Chicago and miss it so much.
Just do what they do in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but replace Wrigley Field with U.S. Cellular Field. Then of course many of the museums that the poster above me noted, along with Millennium Park or Grant Park would be nice.
prepare for extreme heat. wear comfortable walking shoes.
