Just to update thanks for all the info.Wrigley Field was amazing ,Navy Pier,Sears Tower,Lake Michigan and the beaches,Soldier Field,Lincoln Park,Millineum Park,Took the redline to Wrigley and went into Chinatown.I am totally impressed with Chicago.I went alot of places, saw Stedman (Oprah fame)first day. I wound up hanging out on Rush Street, particularly Tavern on Rush.Sitting outside dinning/having drinks here as the tons of very expensive cars rolled by and seeing the people here some groups of girls together,guys together,girls and guys together,was one of the most amazing sites I have seen even compared to NYC,Timesquare.I noticed alot of single women and men there as well as when I went to the beach on Lake Michigan with my friend all of the singles down there as well.I can say I an definitely a fan of Chicago now!!!

Chicago is the shiznit. Before my only care for baseball was a passing interest in the Mariners, but now I'm a Cubs fan. Wrigley was amazing.

Wrgley was amazing.I also found out about how much they hate each other, the White Sox and the Cubs,same as the Yankees and Mets.

One of the happiest moments of my life.

Next time you're there, see the real Chicago. Go down Cicero Avenue...

My trip up Cicero (from Midway Airport to Hwy 64 on the North side) was the most frightening trip I've ever taken. I had no business driving through some of the areas I was in. Never again.

How bad is it? I've been through Compton, Long Beach (the bad part) and Inglewood before.

Put it this way - I stayed in LA with a friend right outside Watts. I rode my bicycle through that area all the way out to the beaches. It was nowhere near as scary as my trip through up Cicero that night.

There are parts of Chicago that are as bad as anywhere. I got stuck around the Harold Ickes (sp?) projects one night taking a "short cut" back from Soldier Field. Not good.

They are, however, turning Cabrini Green into some luxury condos. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Watts is Westwood compared to Compton, Long Beach and Inglewood.
