What to do in Chicago?

[MT375]

Can anyone give me ideas of things to do/see in Chicago? I'm going to be there for about a week and would like to check out some neat areas, I will be going with my folks so nightlife type things arent really what I'm looking for. So far I was going to take them to Shedd Aquarium and possibly to the Sears Tower, any other ideas? If I dont come up with something I'll get stuck going to museums all week

Thanks

Chicago is only rivaled by Rhose Island for total number of whores per capita.

check this out it is a chicagoland ghost tour and its really kinda cool and its not cheesey!

http://www.ghosttours.com/

the man who gives the tour is very knowledgable in Chicago history and it is an all around good time. When we went there was plenty to see and do.

billy goat tavern (chee burger....chee burger....no coke pepsi)
totem pole on the lake
resurection mary
Dillingers alley
Harpo studios

to name a few, although the tour may of changed since we went. But you go in a very comfortable coach bus and there is alot to see.

if this is something you may consider call for tickets as soon as possible because it sells out fast.

be sure to take the walking tour of the beatiful historic neighborhood, Cabrini Green.

The Aquarium isn't a day's work, more like maybe 2 hours, and that's with the Oceanarium and a dolphin show. Definately hit Navy Pier, ghosttours is supposed to be excellent, haven't been but a bunch of my friends go year after year, BrookField Zoo is nice if you like the animal thing, haven't been there in years , gotta grab some pizza, and despite you not wanting to do the nightlife, definately hit at least one club while you're here, whole lotta hot hoes, dancing on platforms wearing mini skirts, and no panties.

Chicago is a great fucking city. If you like food that there's your place.

If you can, catch a Cubs game. Even if you're not a baseball fan you'll still have fun. Wrigley Field is probably the best place to watch a game because everybody there is having a great time.

As for Cabrini Green, they're in the process of tearing it down and placing high dollar condos and town homes. It looks nothing like it used to.

Go hang out with C-Ditty.

She is a hooker now? If so I would do her. She is so big it would be like fucking a cruise ship.

Damn... so much for my idea to inject a little 'excitement' into his trip.

don't get me wrong, those places still exist. i don't know where though.

Look up C-diddy in the phone book, then stop by his pad for some man-love.

Chicago is well known for 3 things:

1) Clam Chowder
2) Eiffel Tower
3) they still have the full set of Gremlins there, completely undisturbed and they have tours of it on the hour
4) most people don't know it, but the only way to get around Chicago is via the canals riding gondolas
