    The outdoor film festival is going on and could be fun:

    If you have never been to a tall building, check out the view from the Hancock, which I prefer than the view from the Sears:

    Cubs come back into town on Thursday:

    If you are into architecture and don't mind traveling by boat, this is neat:

    IMO, best is to rent a bicycle and then you are within twenty minutes of many things you could go and visit, and there is even a "city pass" that will take you to some of these places:

  9. I had to run out to O.P. in order to not risk the ire of the significant other again.

    And, I'm avoiding ceres, too many screwballs, posers and has-beens/wannabes in that screwed up joint.

    Why don't we try Rivers? The patio is nicer, the people more sophisticated.

    I'll be at the Expo.

    Try Gibson's steakhouse.. or Roddity's (in Greektown)

    if u want to dance with a bunch of reggae doobie smokers.. The Wild Hare

    Preppy Drinkers: Cubby Bear

    Loser Drinkers: Ceres

    Mafia hit-spot dining: Boni-Vino

    Vegetarian: The Chicago Diner

    Good burgers: Boston Blackie's

    have fun.
