    Pizza Uno or Pizza Due.

    I don't care what you have planned. You HAVE to go to one of those places. Best pizza on the planet.

    Oooo State Street.
    Still, if you have the time and way to get there, go to the places I've mentioned. If you want, I can give you the address.
    You won't regret it. xD
    Tomorrow and Saturday are going to be in the high 40s so you're lucky! That's warm for this time of year.

    Thanks all. Yeah, I'm sure we'll go down Michigan Ave, because thats where my mom grew up and she keeps talking about wanting to go back there. I forgot to say we're staying on State Street (I think?) We're right near The Art Institute if that helps at all.

    I live about 60 miles west of Chicago, but Chicago really is a beautiful city. :D

    I raelly don't know about all the stores and stuff down there, my lameass doesn't go into the city very often. It's been like a year since I've been downtown.

    I haven't lived in Chicago much.
    i've lived in the Chi-Town suburbs.
    (like five blocks from fall out boy) :D
    and the only thing i recommend is go down Michigan Avenue.
    or go to Navy Pier. :D

    Chicago is really big, and you didn't give a specific area so I'm going to talk about all I know.
    Music clubs;
    The Underground Wonder Bar. I haven't been there, only heard if it. I'm pretty sure all ages are allowed.
    Underground Lounge is another underground music club.
    Other than that, every music place is a venue. Like The Metro. Normally has someone playing. And it doesn't cost much.

    Reckless Records is the only music store I know of other than the other big names like F.Y.E and Best Buy etc.

    The Alley is a cool shop. Some things a bit expensive, but I still like going in there.
    There's also a Threadless.
    Exhibit Boutique is nice.
    Just walking down Michigan Ave. you're bond to find something, too.

    Going to Mount Carmel is cool, too. If you like old fashion graveyards. I like going there because a lot of Italians are burried there and they have gorgeous graves. The story of the Italian Bride (who's grave is gorgeous) is pretty interesting, too. I'm pretty sure there's something there - or someone - to tell it.
    & Al Capone is burried there.
    Woodlawn Cemetery is also pretty awesome. There was a train crash there once, and there's graves for the elephants that died. If you go there, you can't miss those graves.
