This museum is so diverse. There are so many different exhibits to see. You can spend many hours here. We are members even though we live in Indiana. They have a great membership program for people more than 100 miles away. We go at least 4 times a year. Very easy to get to.

This is a nice place to go to on a hot summer day. I usually see Chicago residents more than toursits. The flowers and plants here are real nice. The place is really pretty and set nicely for visitors to come and view. There are also nice apartment complexes situated here. The view is great and the people around the area are real friendly. Its a good place to visit and live.

A friend of mine took me to this great restaurant (supper club). The prices are just right with specials almost every night. If you ask anyone what the best dish is they will tell you the sloppy joe's with tater tots. I know this is something your mom made for you when you were a kid, but oh man is it great. Everything from appetizers, soups, to burgers are great as well. Oh yeah, if you want to watch a game there are plenty of tv's and the bar serves great mixed drinks and has a great beer and wine selection. This is a must when in the Wikerpark neighborhood.

If you live in chiago, or the surrounding suburbs or are going to visit chicgo, i would recommend that you visit this theater if you are into the fine arts. I can reall tell that a lot of money was put into this place. As the name suggests, Shakespeare, there will be plays such as macbeth. If this is your style, please visit here. If it is not ;your style, you will definately be bored to death.

I've grow an appreciation for thrift stores recently. I find I often like the pre-worn look on things. It's even better when the items were actually worn down my somebody, not just a machine. This is where thrift stores come in to play. Wack Cats is especially great. They always have interesting and unexpected clothes in stock. I don't know where they get this stuff from, either. Gotta love it. My new favorite hot spot for clothing. Can't be beat

I took some out of town clients to Vip's recently and I honestly can't say enough good things about this club. The staff was all top notch. By staff I mean the guys/bouncers up at the front that got our cab, the hosts and our waitress. As far as the girls the only word I can use to describe them is "Wow!".
I will definitely recommend Vip's to friends and should the occasion arise again where I'm in charge of entertaining out of town clients I will definitely be happy enough to take them to Vip's!
Pros: beautiful girls, location, staff, service
Cons: drink prices

Want to get back at your friends? Have them come to Whirly Ball with you. Once they get strapped in to that go cart they will understand what you mean by stop eating all of my chips, John! They put a whiffle ball out and it is your job to get it across the court and hit as many other people as you can in the process. As long as you can take a beating as well as dish one out then this place is a lot of fun.

If you are interested in sculpture or art generally, this is a worthy destination.
Considered to be the Master work of Lorado Taft, this enormous Fountain of Time took 14 years to construct.
In it the figure of Time stands across from a 110 foot wave of humanity; soldiers, lovers, youth, the sculptor himself, and many others.
This piece was designed to be part of a larger vision that was never realized. Time and pollution have not been kind to it either; it is in need of repair, but still worth a visit.

During the summertime, this is the place I like to take my kids at least on a weekly basis. The library is really nice and I think it has a nice architecture. While my kids enjoy looking through their big selection of children's books, I can usually catch up on a bit of reading myself. A couple of summers ago they also had a summer reading program for kids, which rewarded children for attaining set reading goals. I thought that was a great program for kids and I hope they bring it back again because it got my kids motivated to read!
