I've lived in the Chicago area for almost 40 years. There are some great things to see and do if you know where to go and, more importantly, where NOT to go.

Comiskey Park (it will NEVER be anything else to me) is a far better choice than Wrigley. Wrigleyville is full of over priced barely concealed gay bars with barely edible food attached.

If you get out into the real neighborhoods of Chicago, or if you stay downtown in the Loop or River North areas, you can enjoy world class meals.

We occasionally venture down there for a night away from home. But we plan carefully where we are going and what we're going to do. On a weekend during the day a walk along the river with the one you love is spectacular.

Or you can take one of the boats on an Architectural Tour and see what the true giants of Chicago history managed.

That being said we almost never spend more than 24 hours down there and we never, ever go unarmed no matter what their stupid laws say.

I’ll think this matters if and when the batters are told to never try to score a ball.

>>> Wrigleyville is full of over priced barely concealed gay bars with barely edible food attached.

I suppose anybody looking from the street could see a business might be a gay bar, but how do you have such insight to know the culinary quality of the food service within, for each bar yet?

take one of the boats on an Architectural Tour

Excellent advice. Chicago, block for block, has the best architecture in America, and the boat ride is a wonderful way to see it.
