Mensan Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 The aquarium/planetarium are awesome and right next to each other. I don't think you have time for any of that given your time line though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 doesn't really matter those so much to see there you really can't go wrong, there's an old bar somewhere that was ran/owned by Al Capone they use to give tours of the bar and the underground where he had tunnels built to escape any unwanted confrontation with the cops, but the navy pier is cool, magnificent mile for your girl unless your going alone, and if you go up top of the sears tower, you can see all the stadiums, even the fountain that was used in the opening for Married with children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 thats a bit of a rush for a day trip. its 6+ hours each way. youd be doing more driving than being in town ive only been twice, but if you go, know you're going to need to drive fast. im talking about cabbies passing me on the freeway when i was doing 85 during rush hour and shit was packed like sardines. scared the shit out of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Food there is legendary, I've never eaten somewhere there I thought wasn't good. have you ever noticed that they have Hot Dogs at almost every restaurant, when I was there 2 years ago I stayed up at the Hoffman Estates and I went to a italian restaurant that had Hot Dogs on their menu wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hello, it's Chicago? You have never had a Chicago style Dog? OMG yum. That's like going to KC and not eating BBQ, Or Texas and not eating Mexican, or New York and not getting some Pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but I was just suprised to see them at an Italian restaurant, plus the Hoffman Estate's area is where most of the big wigs from Sears and a lot of the professional althletes live, the houses there are HUGE several were the size of the eastland mall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 i heard the blackhawks are doing good this time of year. Yeah and Hawks fans are bit crazy. Even more with them going to the cup. I mean they are the only winning team Chicago has right now. If you are going, I might suggest waiting till after the Stanley Cup games are over. If they win there will be a crazy riot in Chi-town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 almost forgot, take some change for all the freeway tollsyou will see most of the toll roads west of Chicago the skyway and 94 are the only toll roads that I can remember going into town. As for food if you go to Navy pier go eat at the Billy Goat and get a triple cheese chips and a coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
