Going to Chicago for the first time on Saturday morning, coming home Sunday afternoon. For any of you who've been there before, what should I do/see/experience? I don't care about museums or art galleries or shopping... But I do want to hit some local cheap food spots, maybe a cool bar with decent music, and potentially go to a Cubs game. I don't have a ton of time, but I would like some advice on what to do with the couple hours I'll have.
So far the only spot I've got on the itinerary is the Billy Goat Tavern and a concert Saturday night.
Oh, and S.Loyer - You'll be jealous. I'm going to the sold-out Local H show at the Metro 20th anniversary of As Good As Dead! I'm so f-ing excited! You're the only one here I know who likes Local H as much as I do and I just had to tell someone lol

green mill was where al capone always went, maybe part owner or something ...the booth is still there I think where he always sat....
Spent a couple of weeks up in Arlington Heights. Nothing spectacular there, but no matter what sort of ethnicity you can think of, you can find a market specializing in it every few blocks!
The Shop
It sounds corny, but I'm a huge Blues Brothers fan so I'd like to find stuff like the Cook County Assessor's Office, 1060 West Addison (Wrigley Field) and Lower Wacker Drive

Next time try and stay at the Swissotel on Wacker. Great views, easy walking distance to many things in Chi-Town.
Dad!...."This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive".....and it was!
I think this is the 11th st station
Pit Row
Anyways, I am so fucking jealous. I literally thought it was an April fools bringing Joe back. You lucky fuck.
I had actually just pre-ordered the DVD before 8 saw this thread. I hope you did something memorable.
I'll see about uploading a video in a little bit, after my hangover goes away
