Chicago suggestions

I am sneaking off to Chicago this weekend with a crew of troublemakers in the Caprice. I promise not to get into trouble. The crew? I can't be responsible.

Now I have grown sort of tired of Chicago. I have had a long, long infatuation in the city I was born. I don't know, maybe it drifted away a little over the past ten years. I still really enjoy it though, and I do go back. It is not that hard.

But I am looking for something new and different. Is there anything new and different in Chicago that doesn't involve spending a lot of jack? I have my typical m.o. for visits. Markets, churches, taverns, music, public institutions, architecture etc. I am familiar with most things up in the old town, so I am game for something different. Something new. Something overlooked. Please send me any thoughts via email or just respond to this post.

Thank you.

PS

Everyone keeps asking, are you smoke-free? Have you gone smoke-free yet? What are you doing? I heard you were smoke-free, what up?

Well, we have yet to figure out exactly what we are going to do, so we are going make an official statement sometime in the next two weeks.

Also- if anyone is interested in getting a copy of the study, or are interested in looking at any of the responses and research, I will comply with all sunshine law requests. We will provide free public viewings of the findings for all drinkers of the Royale. Please make a request with the bartender for documents.

I have had people sift through the documents. Many of the employees have. Most people told me they saw the report online but didn't read it cuz it was way too long. You should read through it, it is a masterpiece of science! I need to turn it in to a science teacher for a grade. Maybe if I added a pie chart and print it in color I can get an A...

Don't forget one of these. Always good to boost your grade by at least a half-letter.
