I'm in Chicago for a few hours, what should I do?

[shock]

Give me a few good ideas of something to do to enjoy this vast market. I could walk around O'Hare looking for LOYCHI gear to wipe with, but I think they are too big of a name to stock gear in a teeny airport like this.

Visit Wrigley then grab a cheezborger at Billy Goat Tavern.

Go to a random street corner and ask passing locals to name one Loyola player.

Award bonus points if they say Adom Jacko.

Visit a grocery store so at least one person affiliated with WSU can finally say they had a positive experience with the Chicago market...

It is June. This is a very important month. Everything hinges on June. Here is what you do, you go to St Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, you pray really hard for the swoon to skip in June. Drop a twenty in the poor box and back out quietly. We shall not discuss this, goats, the month of June or Steve Bartman again.

Maybe stop in at the university to personally apologize for all the recruits we stole

[Dave Stalwart]

Has anyone suggested "shoot someone?"

That's a popular thing to do in Chicago I'm told

Bartman is my hero. Screw the cubs. Or just wait and they will screw themselves.

Navy Pier is worth a look. Lou Mitchell's for a great breakfast. Millennium Park is beautiful. If you are at all artistically inclined, the Chicago Art Institute is world-class. And if you have any spare time after all that, a boat tour on the Chicago River.

I actually own this same shirt. I bought it from a street vendor outside of Wrigley in 87 or 88. The Simpson's were huge back them and Bart Man shirts were very popular.

I have it in mothballs somewhere in storage. I should get it out.

Anyway, Cubs won today.

[Aargh]

there is only one thing to do when in Chicago.

Get out of Chicago as fast as you possibly can. Until you get out of Chicago, hide. Try to appear invisible. Never give the slightest impression you might be vulnerable.

I told an acquaintence (from Chicago) that I had a good friend who had grown up in a bad part of Chicago. My acquaintenee replied, "There is no good part of Chicago".

When in O'Hare, you are where it's as good as it gets.

Thanks guys. I'm safely in Alaska now. BTW, Ike is really nice compared to other airports.
